Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
In the year before The Phantom Menace, Yoda, Mace Windu, and the entire Jedi Council confront a galaxy on the brink of change.
The Jedi have always traveled the stars, defending peace and justice across the galaxy. But, the galaxy is changing, and along with it, the Jedi Order. More and more, the Order finds itself focused on the future of the Republic, secluded on Coruscant, where the twelve members of the Jedi Council weigh crises on a galactic scale.
As yet another Jedi Outpost leftover from the Republic’s golden age is set to be decommissioned on the planet Kwenn, Qui-Gon Jinn challenges the Council about the increasing isolation of the Order. Mace Windu suggests a bold response: all twelve Jedi Masters will embark on a goodwill mission to help the planet, and remind the people of the galaxy that the Jedi remain as stalwart and present as they have been across the ages.
But the arrival of the Jedi leadership is not seen by all as a cause for celebration. Warring pirate factions have infested the sector in the increasing absence of the Jedi. To maintain their dominance, the pirates unite, intent on assassinating the Council. And they are willing to destroy countless innocent lives to secure their power.
Cut off from Coruscant, the Jedi Masters must reckon with an unwelcome truth: that while no one thinks more about the future than the Jedi Council, nobody needs their help more than those living in the present.

expected more... something else
so i also was excited to start with this story, and i am sad to admit that about half way i realized that is wasn't going to be what i hoped for. it is an interesting time period and it could have been a more deeper story about the jedi but is seemed this is a "story of the week" kind of book. I don't think the author is to blame, nor marc thompson who like always does a great job. This book has written Disney al over it in the worst way. I am a big fan of legends as well as canon ( huge high republic fan ) and it feels like they wanted to put a whole high republic phase in just 1 book.

The Prequel to the prequels
It is so nice to have a novel like this showing the Jedi in their normal ways, before the Sith start meddling?

Marc Thompson brings a brilliant book to even more life
This was such a great, pirate filled adventure, with the full Jedi Council on a journey to help a planet some had once visited 200 years earlier.
what really makes this brilliant however, is MT'S narration.
Every single character sounds like you've stepped out of the book and into the prequels, and it's divine

Good prequel.
Overall I think this is a good story. It’s a slow burner and can take a little while to get going. The use of secondary characters adds to the feel of the universe.

An Interesting Look at the Council
While not the greatest story Star Wars has ever told, if you are interested in getting to know the Jedi Council from Phantom Menace, I would highly recommend this. The structure can feel a bit disjointed at times, but this allows for more time exploring each Jedi. Marc Thompson's narration is, as always, phenomenal.

A very enjoyable listen
This was such a treat: there is action, intrigue, twists and some humour and sense of fun. Something a bit different from the usual star wars story. We get a bit of everything. That said it has a disney vibe to it nothing too dark or harsh.
The narrator did a fantastic job with many characters needing a distinctive voice.
I enjoyed getting a greater insight into the council members their personality and view of what they do. This audiobook is very much Jedi rather than council. The story keeps the main aspects of key characters but gives them some extra depth or makes them a bit more likeable or less stoic.
This book was well paced some parts fun or relaxing other parts exciting. I was never bored.
I would recommend this book for someone wanting a light hearted jedi adventure.

A return to decent story telling
decent story almost as good as some of the now “legacy era”
was still slow in parts and possibly focusing on too many characters, maybe would have preferred it to be more led by certain characters
