I love how the book delves into the relationship between a master and apprentice. In many ways, it mirrors even romantic relationships, what with all the doubts and insecurities. What I loved most was how well she conveyed the awkwardness of their relationship as it was souring more and more. The callbacks to things and characters we know from the movies are also nice. I am curious about what happens to Rael Aveross after this story, since he never appears in anything canonical after this.
