swbookclubWelcome to our second of four check-in and discussion posts for our Book of the Month.
This month’s book is Light of the Jedi by Charles Soule
Part II-A The Paths #1 (chapters 19-25)
Light of the Jedi Part 2 of 4
1. We learn a bit more about the Nihil in this section and their use of paths through space. Do you think this sort of technology leads to the more common hyperspace lanes in the era of the Empire/Rebellion? Or do you think these paths are still uncharted?
2. The padawan, Bell, is learning how to fall. Indeera tells him he'll need to learn because Jedi fall a lot. Why is Bell struggling with his landings and do you think it's common for other padawans?
3. What do you make of the relationship between Mari San Tekka and Marchion Ro?
4. Any predictions for how the other members of the San Tekka clan get involved? Or don't get involved?
5. Which story thread do you find most interesting at the moment?
FYI - There's no need to answer all (or any) of the questions above - they're just talking points to get us started. Informal chatter is more than welcome! In-person book clubs often veer off topic, it's okay if we do as well. :)
All I ask is that you try to avoid spoilers for things past Part II of the book.

3. Yeah, it does look bad for her. There's a "doctor" on board who knows she's there, but no one else. Classic abuser cut-victim-off-from-everyone tactic and I don't like it. I hope we see a resolution for her situation that doesn't involve making it worse!
4. My guess is they think it could be her, but didn't realize she was still around. I could be wrong, I usually am on these sorts of details (LOL)
5. I liked the temple, too! I liked seeing the outpost life for Jedi. It's like a cross between missionary work (which has other sets of issues - at least here they were simply being available if needed and not pressing religion on anyone) and a kind of monastic work-study program.
We know there are more temples than just the one on Corusaunt. It's nice to see a time when those places are in use.
