Classic "new" Star Wars
Engaging! Great character development, solid story and it made me immediately pick up the next book in the series. It was an adjustment to get used to reading about the high republic after reading everything set ABY but well worth it! I’m excited for the rest of the series

a grest start
light of the Jedi sets the stage for a new era in the Star Wars universe. there is a lot of interesting new force abilities as well as new lore for the Jedi. being part one of a new era this book does a lot of heavy lifting in terms of explaining the state of the universe and explaining the status quo, but once the ball starts rolling it comes to an exciting climax that satisfies as well as sets up the conflict to come.

Too many characters. Not enough story.
This book is a hodgepodge of too many characters and too much of nothing happening all at once. Highly disappointing.

Fresh start
Very cool to experience an era not shown in the movies. It’s nice to see the Jedi at their peak, as during the prequels they have waivered.

A slog to read
I was excited to read this, but I couldn’t even get through it. I kept reading hoping it would get better - it didn’t. There was a lot of “as you know” expository jammed into chapters. I also just found it hard to read, and I have read a lot of Star Wars novels. Something about how much it jumps around and introduces so many worlds and characters in the first 100 pages made it not enjoyable. It didn’t build the world in a way where I felt invested. Anyway, just my opinion. This one was definitely not for me.

Long ago, the Jedi and the republic stood strong...
I’m not sure why so many have given this a bad review, but to each their own. I personally loved this novel. It is incredibly hard to put down. It has complex characters, epic implications for the new cannon, and does not shy from hard difficult topics such as death and disorder amongst tragedy. It is a well paced, very well woven novel, with storylines that sync for an excellent ending and cliff hanger for further series. If you take a step back and go into the novel without preconceived notions, this is a must read for Star Wars fans!

Not as good as it could have been
Unlike other recent SW books this one is full of unnecessary / filler "fluff". Should have been a short story. The Jedi Order looks weak and useless by a non-Force dominant adversary (why???). Will not buy another book from this author / series.

High Republic, low quality.
In keeping with what seems to be the new Disney tradition, this isn’t Star Wars. I’ve been reading Star Wars novels since the early 90’s, and this is modern dribble that reads like The Hunger Games, or Divergent. If this book appeals to you, you’ve joined the SW fandom late in the game.

We Are All the Republic
The new High Republic era of Star Wars begins with a novel that feels every bit as cinematic as the films and shows in the universe thus far. A deep and rich world envelops characters and a story that will grip you in the very first pages. Everything here feels distinctly "Star Wars" while maintaining its own identity. No matter what you've thought about Disney's other entries into the Star Wars timeline, Light of the Jedi will leave you feeling a sense of excitement for everything that is to come.

Mind Blown
I’m at the half way point of the novel and so far it’s amazing, the opening chapter hooked me in. The pacing of the story is really good and the characters are all amazing and like able. The story takes place around two centuries before Episode 1, so this a fresh breath of air. Star Wars fans will be pleased with this book.
