Shadow Fall Part 4

[colls]

Welcome to our last of four check-in and discussion posts for our Book of the Month.

This month’s book is Shadow Fall (Alphabet Squadron #2) by Alexander Freed
Chapters 18-22

Shadow Fall

1. How did Quell's tactic of "moving forward" help her pass through the tower to the ship within? What (or who) was the tower and the ship left for?

2. What do make of the tension that exists between Wyl and Nath now? Do you have any wishes on how it'll be handled in the next book?

3. The cult leader seemed to know that Chass would depart, changing out her music for a series of lectures. Chass seems on the cusp of a fundamental change. Is the leader right and will Chass find her way back?

4. Mysterious Karios is still mysterious. Any thoughts on her return and what might be in store for her? How do you think she'll react to the loss of Adan and the ITO droid?

5. Other thoughts?



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. :)

I think if you're drinking the Kool-aid, it's important to determine what flavour it is ;)

Is Admiral Sloane a known quantity from other books? I've just got to the point in the Dark Horse comics where ROTJ has happened, and it looks like the head of the Imperial intelligence services is looking to take over on Coruscant.

Yes, Sloane has an extensive story in several books. Some I've read, some I haven't.
Wookiepedia has a good recap. https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Rae_Sloane
For the purposes of this series, I think Freed tells us what we need to know - she's basically looking to take control of the Empire.
