Kindle Notes & Highlights
E’ronoh and Eiram were two cosmic beings that emerged from stardust, and the moon was their shared heart, vital to E’ronoh’s winds and Eiram’s tides.
More planets to add to the lore, which is always appreciated; however, why did they have to have similar sounding names? I was also reading Master and Apprentice which made everything jumbled up in my head.
Hidden among the pinpricks of light that surrounded them was the exit zone for the hyperspace lane the Republic had opened a few years back. It turned out that E’ronoh and Eiram were in the middle of nowhere, but on the way to everywhere.
Interesting phrasing at the end
The Aerialwalk, which she’d seen performed by a priestess of the Singing Mountain during her last pilgrimage to Jedha City, took every bit of her concentration. Gella’s heartbeat slowed to the rhythm of her deep breaths. Every bit of her body was buoyed by the Force, a contradiction of sensations—adrift yet anchored, steady yet in motion. She was a moment and somehow infinite.
It is interesting to see more views of the Force outside the Jedi.
“To be a guardian of peace and justice in the galaxy, we must first experience the galaxy. Better understand all the living beings that are connected through the Force. The Council didn’t send you on this mission so you could help deliver medical supplies. They sent you to learn to be part of a team.”
I really like this idea which in a broad respect can be applied to reality. In order to be fully present and contributing members of the world, we should in fact experience the world.

Always cool to see interesting ways to construct a lightsaber

“That’s the way of the galaxy,” the same curly-haired repair tech said, before jumping back as the wire she’d been working on sparked. “You patch up one thing and find a break somewhere else.”
Fix one bug, two more come up... yep
“You come here from your distant worlds and think you can tell us how to live. Who made you the keepers of the galaxy?”
He stood on a precipice, but that was where everyone lived. Every day, every second, every waking moment someone was looming over an edge and there wasn’t always someone to reel them back away from that dark.
Reminds me of my mom a bit.
We, almost more than any beings in the galaxy, know that we cannot hold emotions back or else they fester. If the Force is a balance, then so is peace.”
When her time came to return to the cosmic energy of the Force, she’d be cremated and her kyber crystal added to the Kyber Arch.
Wonder if AI could make a cool picture of this or if someone already has.
But all it took was one drop to create a ripple.
Yep the power of one for sure
Why couldn’t she always trust herself as implicitly as she did in moments like this? Wasn’t every decision she made similar? With no guarantee but the guarantee that it was as the Force willed it.
beskar.
Mentioned back as far as this now in canon!
So, yes, much of what Jedi do is confront fear, feel it, conquer it. Accept that it is a part of me like anything else.”
Similar concept was in the other book I also just finished the Edge of Collapse by Kyla Stone. Regardless of the type of fear in that book, it was about confronting it and controlling it so it doesn't control you.
“Fighting for peace is like coming to the desert for rain,” said a human woman sliding into the seat beside the marshal. “You will wait forever.”
When so much about humanity is based on conflict and overcoming challenge, is peace contrary to that?
When the queen came to her senses, and when the Mother was satisfied, Abda could rest and journey at her side, as they traveled far away on the Gaze Electric.
Oooo I know this ship!!! Its still around for you know who!
“I think you’re only allowed to be broken for so long before even the people you love start to wish you’d get over it.
Ummm wow... but how to help someone even at this point?
It was impossible to regain something after it was broken. The scars would still be there. They served as memories so that it could never happen again.
Similar to the previous quote many pages ago!
