Black Spire Part 3

[colls]

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

This month’s book is Black Spire (Galaxy's Edge #2) by Delilah S. Dawson
Chapters 22-40

Black Spire

1. Vi didn't seem to expect a rescue. Do you think her sense of obligation to her team has changed? (ie. will she feel over-protective)

2. Will the tip Kriki's former boss, Gol, give Kath be enough to seal her fate?

3. Savi and Ylena both seem eager to help Vi and The Resistance and both seem to have some sense of Jedi and The Force. Do you think any character we've met so far will be revealed to have some sort of force-sensitivity?

4. Anything else?



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 3 of the book.

1. Very good point about how a cell should've reacted. I hadn't thought of that. I do think Vi lacks leadership experience (although is likely a good natural leader) and it'd make sense if Archex leaned into the role as her sounding board. She has said he's her 2nd in command. I think their history is probably a roadblock for now and think it could be resolved in the tail end of the book (not a spoiler, just a prediction - I could be wrong).

2. LOL @ the comm unit. heh.

3. I sense you're right and that'd be a logical tie-in. Although I don't gather it'll be fleshed out much here as there's not much runway left in this book.

4. I'm not sure I buy into the romance subplot yet I didn't notice one. Do you mean Dilon and Ylena?

I do wish the story could give us more insight into Leia's thinking behind sending both Archex and Vi to Black Spire. I'd really like to know how much she leadership potential Vi has, and how much of it is simply not having anyone else to send.

Dilon and Ylena are who I was thinking of as the romance subplot, aye. It doesn't feel like they had a lot of screentime buildup? I get the feeling that if this was a tv series, we'd probably have had montages at the scrapyard or something similar to help set things up.
