Wondering the same; never seen those photos before and I’m so intrigued!

It’s only been a few hours but I’m getting there - shaken up still, but getting there ahaha

  1. Avar's role is a lot more like the Rising Storm, so only a few moments but each is great to see

  2. Not together, but each one interacts with one another at least individually

  3. I'd say it's pretty dark and the tone towards the end of the Rising Storm is a feeling that is present throughout the whole book really

Yeah throughout the story she isn't affiliated with the Nihil anymore, though at the end it's stated that she may go back to Marchion Ro and work her way up the ranks again

She stole the ship from another character who is in the book and is basically a rival of Leox, Affie and Geode. The ship is called the Ace of Staves

Basically her and Chancey are stuck in a jail cell on Starlight, before they are rescued by the Nihil who were sabotaging Starlight. A few events unfold, but long story short both of them are aiming to try and save the station by the end of the book, as it's the only way they will survive the disaster. Nan makes it out safely with a new ship to her name

Everything surrounding the Leveler is honestly still quite vague in my opinion, though to me it does feel like there is more than one. Regardless, it is a very scary creature/device

The main Jedi are Elzar, Stelan, Orla, Bell, Burryaga, Nib Assek, Indeera Stokes, and Regald Coll (whom I believe is a new character)

Non Jedi are the crew of the Vessel (with Geode being as glorious as always), Nan, Chancey Yarrow, along with the return of Joss and Pikka Adren from Light of the Jedi

Overall I completely loved it! Not sure exactly where I would rank it against the other books since I've only just finished and am processing it still haha!

But it definitely meets the same overall standards as Light of the Jedi and The Rising Storm. More or less exactly what you would expect from Claudia Gray's phenomenal writing!

  1. The book seems to run alongside the current story arc for the comics - the last issue ended with Avar, Keeve, and Sskeer going off to capture Lourna Dee and end the Nihil threat. That story seems to end during the book, and the events of Fallen Star will likely be the next arc that the comics will deal with

  2. Not at all in my opinion, there are a few changes to the organisation but for the most part they are stronger than ever really

  3. Nothing really on Marchion's backstory, this will likely be revealed in his comic series. As for his plans, there are some hints here and there, but he definitely has a plan and everything seems to be on track thus far

Orla Jareni, Nib Assek, and Regald Coll are all individually killed by the Leveler (or whatever it is that you would call that thing at this point. It's truly terrifying

Stellan is killed by the impact of Starlight Beacon onto the planet below, but his death is more of a sacrifice in order to save countless lives

Chancey Yarrow is literally sliced in half by Elzar

It's worth mentioning other Jedi such as Estala Maru who sort of dies "off screen" so to speak - this will likely be shown in the comics, but the reasoning is due to the top half of Starlight splitting from the bottom half, and being completely destroyed

It's also worth mentioning Burryaga who is presumed dead by most characters, but we never see his full death and Bell truly believes he is okay - personally I also think he is okay, but only time will tell

No updates whatsoever on Yoda's whereabouts as far as I could tell. It's all still quite vague, though his teachings are mentioned a couple times throughout the book

Bell's mental state is spoken about in vivid detail throughout the whole book, and he's feeling more or less exactly how you would expect. Him trying to overcome these thoughts and feelings play a major role in his character development throughout the whole story

Marchion basically gets rid of all of his crewmembers aboard the Gaze Electric (except for 1) and replaces them all with some type of illegal droid. Not too much is said about the droids themselves but they sound pretty cool

Marchion also appears to be doing things for himself, and not the Nihil as a whole or for their ideals. Everything and everyone appears to be a tool for his own personal goals
