This month's book was Children of the Jedi (The Callista Trilogy #1) by Barbara Hambly

1. Star Wars is often called a 'Space Fantasy' story and Hambly is generally known as a writer of fantasy. What genre influences do you sense at work in this novel?

2. A classic sci-fi trope is using stories about robots/androids to explore what it means to be human. How does that come through here and what underlying message about technology do you think was meant to be shared?

3. Anything else?
