When people start going missing on the oceanic world of Eiram, one Jedi Master and three Padawans are all that the Jedi can spare to investigate. Upon their arrival the Jedi quickly realize there is more at stake than they could possibly have imagined. A dangerous threat has emerged from the crashed Starlight Beacon beneath the ocean depths, and no one is safe, not even the Jedi...

I wasn’t sure what to expect as the cover art doesn’t do the story justice, but I really enjoyed the story and performance. Yes the story is set around young Jedi but it’s not a kids story. Well worth a listen.

A enjoyable little story in the Star Wars universe

the story was okay, but I personally think the narrator was not so god. But it was short so I survived.

This was a great adventure with a group of padawans/younglings finding their feet in a battle with drengir. As that implies, there were threads of difficulty and real peril, and the struggle by Cam (our padawan protagonist) to find his way after his master's disappearance early in the story. I really enjoyed meeting Cam and following his journey; the effect of his vocoder voice, and his coming to accept it, was a conceit that really worked for me as a listener. Conversely, I found Tep Tep's voice a little wearying; the performance was great (all the characters had a real unique aspect from the narrator) but the pitch was sometimes challenging, though that's certainly a purely personal preference.

This is cited as "part one" but it's definitely a complete adventure - don't worry about being left on a cliffhanger!

If you’re invested in the High Republic and want to learn more about the fallout from Starlight Beacon, then Seeds of Starlight is well worth listening to.

Overall, the narration is stellar, aside from one or two voices, primarily the younger and higher-pitched characters. Each character’s voice is distinct and the narration itself flows naturally, if a bit wordy at times.

The story is simple but effective and the novel’s short length ensures things move along at a breezy pace.

For comparisons sake, I’d say this audio book is closest to the Middle Grade novels we’ve seen published in the High Republic setting. A predominantly younger cast struggling with themes of confidence and self-acceptance.

While I don’t think Seeds of Starlight is essential for the High Republic’s overarching narrative, it’s still a fun read and an adventure worth listening too.

It’s pretty good!
