Resistance Reborn Part 3 of 4
Welcome to our third of four check-in and discussion posts for our Book of the Month.
This month’s book is Resistance Reborn (Journey to Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker) by Rebecca Roanhorse
Part III Chapters 19-26
Resistance Reborn Part 3 of 4
1. Dross Squadron has just encountered an obstacle in their mission on the salvage planet. Do you think Shriv leaving Zay behind as their fail safe will turn out to be their ace in the hole?
2. Wedge's team has made it to the records office and encountered Yama, who has apparently been telling anyone who will listen about the datapad leak - from the First Order Colonel Genial to Nora. Do you think she'll team up with the Resistance or go her own way after this incident?
3. What do you make of Poe and Finn's undercover mission?
4. Do you think Rey's "intuition" for any specific mission, or for all of them at once?
5. Any predictions for the ending?
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 III of the book.

2. I think that Yama's in a lot of trouble, one way or another. I think if she tries to carry on working for the First Order, she's going to end up being a scapegoat for someone. I'm not sure she's ready or willing to join the Resistance yet, but I think that she may well get swept along with them during the mission, and end up with no choice.
3. There's a song that purplefringe used to vid Dr Bashir, that has the refrain "I wish I was James Bond, just for a day". I had that running through my head the moment I started reading the undercover mission plotline.
4. I'm not sure yet. I'm hoping that what we'll see during this book is Leia working with Rey to start developing that intuition, as part of building up to the training we saw in RoS...
5. I think that overall, it's going to be a win for the Resistance, but I think they're going to have to run again, and that at least one of the missions is going to cost them one or more people.

2. I didn't really care much about her until the point where she decided to help Wedge and Nora - then she became kind of interesting to me. Her age and experience so far tells me it's likely she'll get swept along, but on the other hand - unlike Monti, maybe she actually has some reason to choose the First Order.
3. aw.... I remember that vid!
4. I think even if we don't see the training, the foundation for it will be laid here.
5. Agreed.
