Temptation of the Force (Star Wars: The High Republic)

The relationship between Avar and Elzar felt very well developed and compelling. It was nice to see their relationship take such a prominent role in an adult novel for the first time since Light of the Jedi. I think most fans of the Avar and Elzar pairing will appreciate that aspect of this book.
The friendship between Burry and Bell also stood out as a highlight to me. I've really come to care about this bond between them (I love the detail of Bell learning to speak Shyriwook to better communicate with Burry, and how much Burry genuinely appreciates that effort on Bell's part). Burry in particular gets some excellent development of his empathetic abilities and how they can be a powerful resource both in confronting the Nameless threat and potentially the blight as well. Especially if combined and amplified with Avar's abilities.
Ghirra Starros was probably a more interesting character to me in this than Marchion Ro, and I did enjoy her scene with Avon.
Avon continues to be a wonderful character for me. I just love her personality and the way she thinks. She has grown so much from Test of Courage as well. It's amazing.
The battle sequences were strong overall, and the blight to me emerged as the biggest threat more so than the previously mentioned Marchion Ro and even the Nameless.
The ending was a genuine cliffhanger.
