Just. This is it. All over this book we see Reath struggling with his fears and over and over again we see that the answer is not suppressing it.
That's what the Jedi Order is. Accepting your feelings and mistakes instead of letting them control you, but not on your own. They are the literal definition of a support system.

@emeraldvsociety and I put together OUR interpretation of how the Trials of the Jedi postcards fit together one after the other into one coherant conversation.
And if we're wrong sue us lol
"What do you hear, when you listen to the Force? It sings to us all — we are each a melody within its great, all-encompassing symphony. What do you hear?" -Avar Kriss "I hear peace. I hear silence. I hear the great mystery calling to me from the endless library of the Force. A story for everyone and everything. Far too many to be read in any person's lifetime…but imagine what you could learn if you tried. That library is within me—and I never want to leave." -Reath Silas "I choose to explore. The Force is an endless sea. The secrets hidden in its depths exceed anything we can imagine. Try things. Experiment. What's the worst that can happen?" -Elzar Mann "The flame of the Force burns so bright that sometimes it blocks out all I see. It sweeps me up and then I'm burning too, bringing light everywhere I go. The fire can destroy — it could even destroy me. But that, I will not allow. I am a Jedi." -Bell Zettifar "I reject your dogma. I see the Force as clearly as any other Jedi. To me, it is darkness, the deepest part of night. But that does not mean I am evil, or lost. Not only by the light might people be saved. The dark can be a savior too." -Azlin Rell "Look up. Look outward. The great sweep of the night sky — the light of so many bright stars touching you all at once, though the time and distance journeyed varies greatly. That is the Force, and the wisdom of the Jedi Order passed down through the generations. Our forebears found the good ways, the true ways — we must honor them." -Stellan Gios "Listen for the wind. That is the Force. A gentle, calming breeze, or a tearing gale. We can resist it, or use it to speed us on our way. We each choose our own path. The Force acts upon us, but the choice is always ours." -Loden Greatstorm "What is the Force? An obstacle. Just a thing in my way. Something to be destroyed. I am the only one who can do it. And so I will." -Marchion Ro "The Force is a blade. Do you think it cannot cut you? It has two edges. Both are sharper than anything you've ever touched. The trick is in the wielding. Use the wrong side, and the injury done might only be to yourself." -Porter Engle
So I finally read the conclusion of the High Republic Star Wars book series "Trials of the Jedi" by Charles Soule and I can admit that half of the fates of the characters were expected but most endings managed to surprise me.
I was honestly expecting for most of our favourite main characters to end up dead (talking about Avar, Elzar, Burryaga etc.) but was glad that I was mistaken.
Avar and Elzar being the ones on whose shoulders will rest the fate of the galaxy was kinda expected as they obviously weren't going to get a happy ending but at least they're alive?
I was half expecting Reath to fall to the darkside (because yk Azlin Rell) but he managed to surprise me. Gotta admit I love their dynamic and that Reath acknowledges to himself that he had 3 masters including Azlin. Hopefully we will get an extra story featuring both of them as at the end Reath is shown to be searching for Azlin. But Rell making the kyber crystal bleed, turning it red from green implies that he will become a Sith? (as far as I understood).
Ghirra getting away with being a Nihil accomplice and once again having a seat of power in the Senate was truly in character for her but kind of annoying to be honest.
Porter finally defeating Viess and trying to come to terms with the death of his sister was a nice touch (he's such a badass character).
Half of the characters previously mentioned barely played any part in the conclusion but that was to be expected when there is a huge amount of them. Still kind of sad though.
As for the main antagonist, Marchion Ro, I was fully expecting him to have some horrid death or for Bell to kill him in an act of misguided revenge in order to avange his fallen Master Loden Greatstorm. Imagine my surprise when he was, in fact, defeated by Bell but held accountable for his actions and imprisoned instead of being dead.
The scene of his trial was very funny by the way.
This line alone made me burst out laughing: "𝘈𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘮𝘱𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘰𝘤𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘰𝘯 𝘢 𝘴𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘦 𝘴𝘰 𝘷𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘪𝘵 𝘥𝘦𝘧𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘩𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘮𝘱𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘮𝘶𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘯 𝘦𝘹𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦". I mean he IS Marchion Ro, did you expect any less? lmao
Overall, I am content by the ending of the series but the ending of Marchion being left all alone and dying old and forgotten was valid but hard for me because he's my favourite character (I do admit I love megalomaniacs with a god complex haha). But I can take that in stride as throughout all the books he remained a badass mastermind and it was bound to happen. His ambition to kill all life in the galaxy was a shocking change of plans but then again also in character for him.
I can't stress how much I love the High Republic series, it was such a great experience.
We are all the Republic.
For Light and Life.
So, I've finished Trials of the Jedi and I have one big issue to tell:
WDYM Reath just sets off in search for a dangerous insane Sith and that's all, that's the end? How come this is the end?
Will there be any upcoming comics about that or what? How could you do this to my little precious scholar and leave no clue about the end of this story?
