Ok, I really wanted to love this book. It features beloved characters from A Test of Courage, so I thought it would be like picking up where we left off. Unfortunately the plot is much slower that AToC, and takes a long time to really get rolling. That said this book has amazing emotional beats, and great thematic ties to current live-action Star Wars shows, and once the plot started moving it ramped up fast. 

The characters are where this really shines: Vernestra is a solid character who can carry any level of reader book, Imri is groaning into a similarly great character and sees significant character growth, as does scientific prodigy and known rascal Avon Starros.
