2022 book 124

 Justina Ireland's Out of the Shadows

This formed a perfect High Republic trilogy with the previous two books, as characters from both of those team up in this one. I’m not going to even start trying to explain the plot, which is way too convoluted (and I am predisposed to enjoy books with politics and double dealing), but along with our Jedis pals the other main character is a young woman pilot drawn into things—as is her ex girlfriend (who has a giant pet alien cat thing!!). I am super here for space ladies smooching but wished a little more time had been spent on building their relationship up. This just kind of bogged down a little and the end was mildly unsatisfying, but it was interesting to see more of how the Jedi Order got enmeshed into the Republic and its dealings. B+.
