1. I think some of the original tidbits are fascinating. Like Lanoree's brother, I'm interested in where these people come from too - since it seems they colonized the Tython system centuries ago and have lost their origins (? hard to say, assume we'll find out more since it seems to be one of the main mysteries of the book for the Stargazers)
2. I think Lanoree is an interesting protagonist so far. Part of me feels she's so young, but that could be the jumps to her childhood training bleeding into my perception of her. The Je'daii Rangers and whole outfit seem almost like a cult. I feel for her brother Dal who seems to simply want nothing to do with the Force. I don't think this is the intent and I fully expect my opinion to change as the book goes along. But right now I'm getting the impression that she's been fed this story by her family and community about the Je'daii and her place in it while perhaps the rest of the society doesn't feel the Je'daii are quite so noble. Anyway, the politics of this system are still unfolding, but it seems interesting and I'm wondering how far Lanoree is going to veer off the path her elders have set for her.
3. I'm liking it! Despite Twi'lek and Wookies showing up, and the random Sith police chief, it feels very removed from the Star Wars universe in general - which isn't bad, just different.
