Quest for Planet X is another junior novel set during the early High Republic era, telling another ancillary story set between the adult novels. This book is set after the events of The Battle of Jedha and is centered around Silandra's padawan, Rooper, getting involved in a race to find a mysterious planet called Planet X. Rooper has been on Batuu, and essentially gets sucked into a race to find the mysterious planet, and agrees to participate in order to find Silandra. Unlike some of the other junior novels, this one does advance the main storyline as we learn that the mysterious creatures that can kill the Jedi, which have appeared in multiple novels are called Levelers, and we learn that Planet X may be the origin of the species.
Overall, the book is okay, but not great. The few plot points from the main story arc of the other novels that get fleshed out are nice, and the main storyline is okay, but not necessarily something that is worth reading multiple times.
