i finished escape from valo last night and out of the middle-grade high republic books i've read so far, this one was definitely my fave!
#like ram i took one look at the younglings and said 'they're mine now'#i absolutely adored these characters and their connections to each other. like those are my kids! and they're so brave and strong!#and nothing better happen to any of them!#we are 2 for 2 though on me crying to the phase 3 books so far though lol#like ram's grief about starlight and his uncertainty and doubts about sort of being in charge of these younglings#and just how lonely he's felt#and then everything the valo younglings went through#and gavi being unable to use the force for so long after seeing a nameless kill master ae(something; i can't remember their name)#and his grief and loneliness mirroring ram's in a lot of ways#but also his connection with driggit and losing that#the Fake Twin thing was sooooooo. like i'll be chewing on that one for a bit#lots of things reminding me of mirrors lately lol#like these kids made me cry but it was such a good book#and i'm so glad young readers have representation like this in their books#and that they have complex characters like this#like they're kids but sometimes kids go through tough things!#it was just really good#and i'm glad we're lingering on the destruction of starlight#like that was a MAJOR loss so i'm glad it's not just being swept under the rug#escape from valo#star wars#the high republic#mik reads the high republic
