1. The 'Memories' sections are interesting and add so much to the story. I am glad they are clearly denoted as being different though, because some of the transitions flow a little too well for me to tell which is "current" and which is "past" without it. (LOL)

2. I'm looking forward to more interaction between Thrawn and Thalia to see what happens. I also hope she reunites with Cher'i.
