1. I’m actually excited to see this as Star Wars usually does polar opposite personality types for Master and Padawan pairs which is why I was freaking out thinking Reath would end up with Dez. I seriously breathed a sigh of relief when that conversation ended!
I think they’ll work out ok unless Cohmac goes off the deep end. Maybe helping Reath deal with the loss of Jora will also get Cohmac to healthily work on letting go of the feelings about his own master’s death.

2. Yes, Scover can’t have been the only one benefiting from the arrangement and now those who also were aren’t going to be happy it’s over. There’s also the fact that it could be seen that Affie “betrayed” her foster mother and the guild so I expect quite a few “Traitor!” to be thrown at her in coming stories.

3. Nan is an interesting case, I’m surprised she got a one on one audience with Ro right at the end as I didn’t think she was that high up/important? Guess there really is more to her than meets the eye.

4. I think Dez will but Orla feels like a character to me that they will want to keep around and her being off in the middle of nowhere acting independently doesn’t leave her that available for plot use.

5. I enjoyed this book more than Light of the Jedi due to the smaller cast and more linear plot. It kept me interested and wanting to read so it’s a win there. I hope that future High Republic books build off events that happened here and we see more appearances by everyone...including Geode. Seriously Geode turning up to save Reath was the best part of the finale for me :D
