Convergence (Star Wars: La Haute République)

The setting feels so rich and layered — I wonder if the author developed the lore first or let it evolve during writing.

The stakes felt higher than in previous books, and I found myself rooting for their success more than ever. How did others connect with their journeys?

Some reveals caught me off guard in the best way. I’m curious about the process — are these planned from the start or come during revisions?
