The Jedi have their own problems.

This Star Wars novel is a great bridge between the early High Republic Era and the time of The Acolyte.  Indara (from The Acolyte) gets to work with Vernestra Rwoh on a mission of critical importance involving a Senator and dangerous weapons.  It delves a bit into Jedi philosophy, and you can see how the Jedi of the High Republic era start to lose their way and become too enmeshed with the Republic.  Great read.
