Tales of Light and Life is a book set during the two (so far) High Republic eras of Star Wars. The book published in 2023, is a collection of short stories from multiple authors who have written the High Republic era novels, that occur between or after the major events during Phase 1 (the middle) and Phase 2 (the beginning) of the High Republic. Some of the stories involve new, non-Jedi, non-Nihil, or non-Path members who were present during the events in the books, and other stories involve the main characters from the books.
The hardcover version of the book is a little over 300 pages but reads very quickly, especially for those who have read the other High Republic novels. To me, the best stories are the last few that detail events that occurred after the events of the novel, The Fallen Star. Those stories will likely serve as the setup for the Phase 3 novels that detail the end of the High Republic era. The other stories in the book really felt like filler that did not add a lot to what was in the existing books. Ultimately, I think this is a book that most die-hard fans would read one time, but it is not a must-read and you will not miss a lot if you don't read this one.
