Jedi Padawan Reath (17yo) is more of an academic than an adventurer, so, when Master Jora tells him that she’s taken an assignment at Starlight Beacon, he’s less than thrilled. Master Jora goes ahead, and Reath takes a later transport with several other Jedi—all of whom are hiding something. But when they get stuck in a random part of space on their journey, it’s hard to keep anything completely hidden from each other—and from themselves.
The Force can be used for good or evil, and, while all the Jedi are trying to be good, each Jedi has to find that balance of how to work with the Force personally. Not all Jedi can be adventurers, and not all can be academics, just as each of us are going to live our lives differently. Each of us can be good in our own ways and in our own spheres of influence. I love all these different perspectives that Gray gives as she switches points of view between different characters. Also, the battle scenes are as fun to read as they would be to watch in a movie.
Reath is depicted as white on the cover, Affie and Leox are described as having “tan” skin, Dez has “golden” skin, and Orla is “stark pale.” One side character is lesbian. The mature content rating is for mentions of alcohol, illegal activity, drug use, and mentions of sex. The violence rating is for assault, battle scenes, and murder.
