The Force itself sickens in the latest High Republic young-adult novel “Defy the Storm” by Tessa Gratton and Justina Ireland. We discuss Vernestra Rwoh emerging from solitude, Avon Starros on her quest for revenge, Mari San Tekka's path beyond the edge of the galaxy, and more. Plus, what's next for solving the Nameless problem?
