When Alex says he read a new Stars Wars material, he means he touches the book uses some type of power… i think it’s called Osmosis. It’s the only way he’s able to know these little gems of details.

Just got done listening to this book, I enjoyed it. I'd give this book an 8/10. It's neither the best nor the worst Claudia Gray book. I think it's epic in scale and tragic with no punches pulled. Elzar Mann and Bell Zettifar are the highlights from the book. I did have some issues with pacing, and characters repeatedly making dumb choices like a cheap horror film. I think it's better than the author's other High Republic book Into the Dark.

I feel like this book had less connections and references to other High Republic works and plot than the other THR stories so far, making it feel almost disconnected from the whole story, and there were a bit too many Claudia Gray-self references for my taste haha. Loved finding them though, that always feels super rewarding as a reader. I always love your fun fact videos, this time I actually caught lots of them myself. The comic connection to Luke is so intriguing! Can't wait for the Mission to Disaster and Midnight Horizon ones! :)

4:42 I guess there would be liability issues if the cookbook's recipe was "mix together hard liquors and then regret" Something I caught is that it's described that radioactive material will have to be recovered from Starlight's wreck on Eiram. That means that aspects of Starlight were nuclear powered. The new eu saga era actually has had a noticeable lack of anything nuclear powered. However 100 years before that Phasma's home planet was colonized with a nuclear power plant. It's failure is what turned her planet into Fallout x Mad Max. This makes me think that some high profile nuclear disasters, Parnassos included, occurred in the end of the High Republic era, making nuclear power unpopular. If Eiram's containment efforts of the Starlight wreck don't go well, it could be another one.

I just finished the book. I liked it but I thought the destruction of Starlight Beacon was far less chaotic then what I was expecting. It didn't make sense that one of the Nihil saboteurs wouldn't head down to the cargo docking bay to release the release the Rathtar's or little the leveler was roaming around the station to hunt Jedi. Now that the leveler is confirmed to be a creature it makes me wonder if the creature is really a Vornskrs and that they're retconning or are establishing how they eat.
