I have less investment in the Dross Squadron than I do in any of the other teams at this stage. They're interesting, and they highlight how desperate the Resistance is, going after scrap. But I don't know any of the characters enough to have an emotional investment in their story yet.
Yama is only 15!?!? I found Officer Bratt to be an idiot before this part of the story, but his beating of her sealed the deal for me - I hope Officer Bratt doesn't make it out of this book alive.
Poe and Finn undercover as a couple is everything that is good about the sequel series in general. I like Rose and enjoyed Canto Bright bits in TLJ, but oh how I wish we could've seen this on-screen.
Much like Poe's speech earlier in the book showed how he hasn't quite found his footing (but that's he's on the right path), I feel like Rey is in a similar place with her Force training. She knew long before the scene where she discusses it with Leia, but was unsure and held back. The attack coming in just as she'd sought guidance from Leia seems like ironic timing.
As for what's next.... I have a bad feeling about this. Someone isn't going to make it out, and the cynic in me says it'll be someone from each of the four missions. I hope I'm wrong. 1. Either Zay or Shriv - because the last interaction between them as Shriv was leaving the shuttle seemed laced with the whole "I may never see this person again" vibe. 2. I'm unsure about this one. Perhaps it's Yama. I really don't want it to be Nora. 3. Either Suralinda or Charth are the likely candidates - my money is on Charth since Suralinda is a character created in another installment and the author might not have the freedom to kill her off. 4. If anyone dies on Ryloth, it'll be Yendor as the other characters here obviously survive to the movie.
