I read this one a little over a month ago. It was my last book of 2025. It was decent. As I was reading, I kept feeling like there were earlier stories or a prior history that was being referenced but not explained. I was about 1/3 of the way into the book before realizing that it is the third book in a trilogy and I hadn't read the first two, so that stunk. But I feel like I got the gist of it for the most part. The majority of the story takes place on a falling space center that was sabotaged by the bad guys. And all the Jedi's were for some reason not able to connect with the force because of some mystical creature that was on the ship or something. We didn't really get an answer to why that was happening as far as I can recall. Not much really happens in this book. It's mostly a lot of discussing plans amongst each other and coming to terms with their feelings. I was waffling on giving it a lower rating, and it maybe should have gotten a 6/10 from me, but the story was interesting enough for me that the lack of action or forward progress with the storyline didn't bug me too, too much. The other complaint is that this huge space station isn't very well described. I'm wondering if it was described in the previous books so it wasn't entirely necessary to do that here? But I got the sense that it's this huge space station but it just felt tiny in reality based on the story and it seemed like there were only handfuls of people responsible for running the thing. This book was fine. Just not one to go out of your way for.
