“Out of the Shadows” Book Discussion | The High Republic

Disillusionment looms large in a galaxy far, far away as we continue our High Republic coverage with "Out of the Shadows" by Justina Ireland! Brad and Sarah discuss the newest young-adult entry from Disney Books that introduces Sylvestri Yarrow, an everyday citizen who's trying to survive in an inequitable Republic, and we explore how she carves out her own path in the face of adversity. Plus, is Vernestra Rwoh's path sustainable? Is the Jedi Order out of touch? And what should the High Council's role be during wartime? We explore all of this and much more!  TIME STAMPS: Non-spoiler section (8:19); Spoiler Section (17:47); Odds & Ends (2:05:04); What's Next (2:14:59)  Today's featured independent bookstore is R.J.
