I did a little bit of reading about the different colours of lightsaber on wookipedia, because I was curious about all the colours, and it seems to be a real mish-mash of things imported from computer games, and Samuel L. Jackson being Samuel L. Jackson, and ... chaos? It does look like there was a time where the fashion was to colour-code lightsabres based on the nature of the Jedi who wields them, but I'm not sure if that period is this period. Frankly, I'd like each Jedi to tell me why their lightsabre is the colour it is, just to stop the brain itch :P

I'd hope that Bell either gets to track down Greatstorm, or persuade others to do so...

Marchion Ro seems like a fairly stereotypical villain, but I'm not sure about Lina Soh yet. I'm wondering if Soh's meant to be in more books, to give us more time to learn about her?

I think I'm most interested to find out what happens next in Greatstorm's plotline, but I'm also very curious about Porter, who gives me the impression he may be rethinking some of his life choices.

The ending for this book feels... abrupt? I was disappointed with where we were left hanging, but having taken a quick look on goodreads, it looks like there are several YA novels tied into the Beacon plus a direct sequel to this novel, so I'm wondering how much each book is viewed as part of a larger story rather than as a story in its own right.
