    I don't think it's bad. Just not as good as the other books and not great.

    Eh I found her less interesting as things went along. Can't say I really care about their partnership. Not against it, just uninterested.

    They're still books.

    Yes but they could be categorised differently in Audible. Not under "Science Finction" but "Young Adult" or "Young Reader". Hence why they are hard to find on that site.

    They're also categorized under "Star Wars" and "Star Wars: The High Republic" but regardless here are the links:

    Why are you telling me? I have them and don't use Audible, given how they treat people.

    Here is a link that has all three of them in one place.

    Why am I telling you? What a weird question. You just said they're hard to find on audible. I'm responding to you by saying they're not.

    Also, this is the conversation thread with Jedi Daniel not being able to find the books on Audible. So I posted the Audible links.

    No I didn't, I said they COULD be categorised differently and that would explain the issues Jedi Daniel was having (making them hard to find, since someone couldn't). @Jedi Daniel said they were hard to find. I offered a possible solution. Which offended you it seems, as you saw fit to enter and say "They are books", as if that was at all helpful to the person having issues.

    It is interesting that proving me wrong is more important to you than helping the person who started this.

    I've already succeeded in helping the person who started this by posting the Audible links. Not sure why you're being so weird. Take care!

    It appears that the reason they aren't showing is because of my region. I'll hunt them down though, thanks for your help :)

    I've got a question, what did Marchion mean in his monologue at the end of the book when he said he Marchion Ro isn't his real name? But Asgar is also his real dad, right?Does this mean neither of them neither of them are actually "Ro"?

    Likely. They could easily assume a name and use it to protect their real identities.

    Young Griff and Old Griff, for example.

    Yeah, based on their shady past I assumed it was a fake family name.

    Bizarrely there's another, presumably unrelated Ro floating around in the New Republic stories (Bansu Ro). Likely he was created before the High Republic Ros, but the fact that they used him in a (somewhat) important scene in Victory's Price lately was weird. I guess Ro is the new Antilles.

    The Ro family of the High Republic don't appear to be human based on description alone, although perhaps they are near-human and serve as Bansu Ro's distant ancestor?

    Asgar and Marchion Skywalker, I'd wager.

    I'm not sure how to pronounce "Rwoh" but in my head it's also the same as "Ro".

    I'm still saying. Ro = Rwoh. Marchion's a grey mirialan.

    I find it pretty funny that Yarael Poof agreed to the idea that the Jedi should look into getting an army and preparing for war, and he ended up being killed during the Clone Wars, while Oppo Rancisis was against the whole idea of war and survived through order 66.

    Actually we don't know what happened to Yarel Poof, he was off the Council before the Clone Wars.

    He died before the Clone Wars on a mission according to extra sources, though Canon puts it closer to AOTC than Legends.

    Anyone else notice that the last 2/3 of the book took place over like a few weeks but had a subplot running through it that can't have taken more than a few hours? The plot with the Jedi chasing after the kidnapped settlers.

    Yep, I believe DarthInternous talked about that. It's a deliberate shuffling around of the timeline in order to present those events simultaneously to the reader even though they're not happening at the same time.

    Hmm. I don’t like it. Hated it in Deep Space Nine and hated it here.
