Some really good world-building for a relatively short book, with exploration of ideas like the will and subjugation of Force users, the “goodness” of the Force etc. Having the story set before the Jedi-Sith conflict, with the Sith being a more monastic order and the Je’daii leaning into more secrecy and being morally gray helps a lot in this respect.
