Defy the Storm might be my favorite Tessa Gratton and Justina Ireland co-written book and is instantly one of my favorite High Republic books! beautiful balance of attention to different characters, complex and layered characterization, setting multiple potential seeds for future stories, just a wonderful book that i've already reread! favorite character of the book: Vernestra Rwoh, she never fails to capture my heart with her slow-burning arc that started with her on top of her game favorite *new* character: Cair San Tekka, i love the San Tekkas and their rivalry with the Grafs so i was excited for this one!

I love The High Republic Era of Star Wars. I know what you’re thinking, “Don’t you love all Star Wars?” Yes, obviously that’s the case, but The High Republic just hits differently right now. The latest book entry, Defy The Storm by Tessa Gratton and Justina Ireland, pushes the main narrative forward in a character-centric story.

Defy The Storm is the first YA novel of Phase III to be released, and it does a wonderful job of continuing the pattern set forth in the first two phases of YA books with the focus being on more character-driven stories rather than galactic event-shaping like the full adult novels.

And who are those characters? Our main stories center around Vernestra Rwoh, Jordana Sparkburn, Avon Starros, and Xylan Graf. Yes, I said stories. They intertwine, but each story carries its own right in the book.

Avon wants revenge on Dr. Mkampa, so she enlists forces Xylan to help her strike back. She does, however, find Vernestra and tells her where her Padawan Imri Cantaros is hiding out in the Occlusion Zone. So, Vernestra heads out with one of my favorite looking new characters Deva Lompop to look for Imri.

The story following Jordana Sparkburn and her brother as she reunites with a San Tekka cousin on the journey was wild and not what I was expecting. I’m not sure exactly what the Nihil were doing on the planet where she finds her brother, but it sure seems like they’ve weaponized the Nameless beyond being Force Eaters. This could spell bad news for the Republic.

As I said earlier, the main focus of these YA books has been to tell a great character-driven story on a smaller scale than the adult novels. While Avar Kriss and Elzar Mann are fighting for the galaxy, the characters that we frequently see in the YA books are younger, and going-through-it emotionally for a variety of reasons.

Where Avon and Vernestra are now in the story compared to where they were when they were introduced in 2021’s A Test Of Courage (review), which was a middle grade novel, is night and day. They both have grown and are more confident in their decisions whether they realize it fully yet or not. Obviously, I’m thrilled that Vernestra will be in the upcoming Acolyte show, so I know she makes it out of this relatively ok; however, that doesn’t mean that I’m not stressing with her with what she’s going through at the moment.

I haven’t talked a lot about Xylan Graf in this one, but his character has been a joy to read over the years. He’s such a sleazebag but occasionally has the heart of gold. But, he’s still a Graf and always out for himself.

These recent combo-author books have been well done, and that sort of thing can make you a little nervous. This is the second one from Justina Ireland and Tessa Gratton after Path of Deceit, and they definitely seem to work well together.

Defy The Storm isn’t going to progress the main story ahead by leaps and bounds, but we got some great development of some fan favorite characters while shifting pieces into place for future stories. I liked this book.

Name: Cohmac Vitus Pronouns: he/him Era: High Republic Appears in: Into the Dark, Out of the Shadows, Midnight Horizon

Jedi Master Cohmac Vitus was a well-respected scholar and mystic during the High Republic era. He was the master of Padawan Reath Silas, and was good friends with the Wayseeker Jedi Orla Jareni. Cohmac had a very strong connection to the Force, and he was more affected by disturbances than other Jedi were. While Cohmac was rational and steady, he had unresolved issues with how the Jedi Order dealt with grief and emotions, which intensified during the Nihil conflict.

Check out Cohmac's video profile here!

Full profile under the cut:

Cohmac Vitus was a Jedi Master in the High Republic Era. In the Jedi Order, he was a well-respected scholar and mystic, particularly in the fields of folklore and ancient cultures. He was highly sensitive to the Force – moreso than most Jedi – and generally preferred reason and logic to acting on emotion. Cohmac was considered by many to be very handsome: he had light brown skin, greying black hair almost to his shoulders, and an angular build. In phase one of the High Republic, he’s probably in his 40’s or early 50’s. Nevertheless, Cohmac was “more resolute in his vows” than many other Jedi, although there were rumours he had once been in love. In any case, Vernestra Rwoh still caught Cohmac admiring Xylan Graf’s chest when he thought no one was watching.

While Cohmac considered himself to bring steadiness and rationality to the Jedi Order, that in itself came from a place of repressed emotions. Cohmac’s master, Simmix, died on a mission while Cohmac was still a Padawan. Not only did Cohmac feel responsible for his Master’s death, he was angry at the Jedi Order for not allowing him to grieve. He bottled up that anger within himself, but after the Great Disaster and the rise of the Nihil, it came to the surface. Cohmac began to question the Jedi philosophy and their approach to fighting the Nihil. Why were they expected to hide their feelings? Why did they ignore the Dark side of the Force instead of examining it?

While Cohmac often appeared to be unshakable, the Nihil conflict spurred his inner turmoil. He went from thinking like a scholar to believing that the Jedi could not flinch while facing the Nihil – and he started to fight like it.

Cohmac was the master of Padawan Reath Silas, another Jedi who preferred scholarly pursuits before his path led him elsewhere. Cohmac said that Reath would be his greatest instructor in the force, and they both pushed themselves to the edge of their comfort zones. He was also good friends with the Wayseeker Jedi Orla Jareni, who he had grown up with as younglings and who was with him on the mission that Master Simmix died. Orla was Cohmac’s opposite in temperament, but also one of the people he trusted the most. 

🚨 Spoilers for The Fallen Star and Midnight Horizon: 🚨

While Cohmac hoped teaching Reath would help him find balance within the Order, Cohmac couldn’t get past his grief, anxiety, anger, and doubt. Orla’s death during the fall of Starlight Beacon was the last straw. That night, he officially named Reath a Jedi Knight and gave him his lightsaber. Cohmac said that he was no longer a Jedi, and disappeared into the night.

Queer Star Wars Characters (Round 1): General Character Bracket 7

Jordanna Sparkburn | Identity: wlw | Media: The High Republic Out of the Shadows

Jordanna Sparkburn is a member of a cadet branch of the wealthy San Tekka family. She was born on the frontier planet of Tikkae, which was a San Tekka holding. She grew up with the expectation of succeeding her aunt as the San Tekka deputy of the planet. In the year before the Great Hyperspace Disaster, she fell in love with Sylvestri Yarrow, the daughter of a hauler who was spending time on the planet. When it was time for Sylvestri to rejoin her mother, she offered for Jordanna to join her. Not wanting to abandon her duty, she declined and they separated on poor terms.

Later, when the Nihil attacked and destroyed Tikkae, she joined the Jedi Imri Canatas, Cohmac Vitus, Reath Silas, and Vernestra Rwoh to travel to Coruscant where she could get into contact with the San Teka family. The San Tekka family sent her to accompany a Senate investigation into the Berenge Sector, which used to be owned by the San Tekkas. This investigation included the four Jedi she had already met, Xylan Graf, and her ex- Sylvestri. Xylan believed that the Berenge Sector was being used for Nihil experimentation into a Mass Shadow Generator, which Slyvestri’s mother was helping them build. In the course of all the intrigue and danger in Out of the Shadows, Sylvestri and Jordanna work through the bad feelings they separated on. After the events of the novel, now that Jordanna had no posting, she decides to join Sylvestri and they set off on their new ship to see what jobs Maz Kanata has for them. 

Kevmo Zink | Identity: pansexual | Media: The High Republic Phase II

Kevmo Zink was a Jedi Padawan who traveled to Dalna with his master Zallah Marci to investigate if the Force cult The Path of the Open Hand was involved in the theft of the Rod of Seasons. There, he met Marda Ro, who was a member of the Path. Amongst all the intrigue, the two began a hesitant romance despite their completely opposed theologies. Despite even earning the trust of many of the Path by saving a family of Kessarine when the caves they lived in flooded, the conflict between the Path and the Jedi was unavoidable. When he ran into the Mother’s newly hatched Leveler, it consumed him and Zallah. Marda took his lightsaber and made what justifications she needed to remain loyal to the Path. Kevmo continued to haunt Marda, with it being ambiguous if this was her own guilt or a manifestation of the Force. Kevmo was a promising Jedi Padawan, eager to help and interested in learning about other people. However this came with a certain level of naivety and disbelief when it came to the views of the Path and what such views really meant. He believed he could convince Marda to leave the Path and reveal where the stolen Force artifacts were, while simultaneously being conflicted about what his love for her meant regarding his own future as a Jedi. He had a level of eagerness and openness, including “accidentally flirt[ing] with nearly every life-form he came across”, which tempted with experience meant he could have been a great Jedi.

Justina Ireland’s latest High Republic novel is a bit more slower paced than all of the content that has come before it, but that doesn’t make it a bad thing. The cast is smaller and that allows us to spend more time with everyone, though the focus primarily falls to Vernestra Rwoh and Sylvestri Yarrow. Over the course of the story, it’s revealed that Vernestra used to get visions when she was…

Name: Jordanna Sparkburn Pronouns: she/her Era: High Republic Appears in: Out of the Shadows

Jordanna Sparkburn was a member of the San Tekka clan and the deputy on the planet Tiikae. She fell in love with Sylvestri Yarrow, but declined Syl's invitation to travel the galaxy together. Jordanna was tough, intelligent, determined, and had a penchant for violence that most Jedi found disturbing. She also had a vollka named Remy, a large hunting cat who could should lightning from their horns.

Check out Jordanna's profile video here!

Full profile under the cut:

Jordanna Sparkburn was part of the infamous San Tekka clan, which is how she ended up as the deputy on the planet of Tiikae. She had long, dark, curly hair; sandy-hued skin; and freckles. She was headstrong, confident, and had a penchant for violence that Jedi found disturbing. Jordanna believed that actions spoke louder than words, and was constantly frustrated with how the Jedi weren’t protecting people on the frontier. Her planet, Tiikae, had faced many struggles: a Nihil invasion, attacks from the mercenaries hired to deal with the Nihil invasion, kidnappings from the Zygerrians and the Hutts, the Drengir, and even more Nihil violence. Jordanna felt a strong duty to protect her planet, but also recognized when she was outmatched. Despite how violent she could be, Jordanna wanted to make a difference in the galaxy and change it for the better.

Jordanna fell in love with Sylvestri Yarrow when the latter was visiting Tiikae. Sylvestri saw the side of Jordanna that was humorous, philosophical, curious, and romantic. Still, she declined Syl’s invitation to leave the planet together, stating that she had duties due to her position in the powerful San Tekka family. 

Jordanna also had a vollka named Remy, a large hunting cat whose horns could shoot bolts of electricity. Remy wasn’t fond of strangers, but was very fond of Sylvestri.

In Out of the Shadows by Justina Ireland, Jordanna works with Jedi Knight Vernestra Rwoh during a Nihil attack on Tiikae. She goes with the Jedi to ask for help from the San Tekka clan on Coruscant. When she arrives on the planet, she happens to reunite with Sylvestri, six months after their break-up. Jordanna joins the mission to the Berenge sector with Xylan Graf, the Jedi, and Sylvestri. She admits to Syl that she regrets not accepting her invitation to travel the galaxy and announces her intentions to win Syl back. After being stunned by a Nihil attack on Everbloom, Jordanna works with the Jedi to rescue Sylvestri and the kidnapped Padawans. After returning to Coruscant, Jordanna decides to step away from her duties as San Tekka deupty on Tiikae, and to travel to Takodana with Sylvestri instead.
