1. I'm finding it really surprising that Vernestra's been made responsible for another padawan already - for all that she's a prodigy, I'd be amazed if she has the life experience to help someone close to her own age work through their problems with Jedi training. I think I would've expected the Jedi order to instead be sending her around to study with all the various Jedi knights and masters who're deep specialists in various aspects of the Force to broaden her training first. I know the adage about how you can only learn so much about a topic through practise and study before you reach a point where the only way to keep growing is to train someone else, but this setup feels like a good way to overwhelm Verne/.
2. I'm rather intrigued by what's going on with Syl and the Grafs. I'm sure that they want different things, and it definitely doesn't feel like they're equals. I doubt this is a case of genderswapped Han and Leia, although the idea did cross my mind at one point! I think the Grafs are likely to view Syl as useful but... disposable isn't the right word, but maybe like a contract worker?
3. I want to find out more about the force visions that Verne's having, but I feel a bit like Johnny 5 - "need input!".
4. I'm enjoying it so far; I'm appreciating that there are fewer characters involved than the last High Republic novel we read, as that felt a bit overwhelming in terms of the sheer number of characters I had to try and keep track of, which was even more complicated for my brain given I was listening to the audionovel. This book was one of those in the Humble Bundle offer recently, so although I've had to install kobo on my phone and learn how to use it, I'm finding it a quick and fairly easy read.
