Matthew Wetsel’s Reviews > The Mask of Fear > Status Update

This has been a slow burn book by my standards but it looks like “business is about to pick up.”
Strongly hinting that Bail, Saw, and Soujen’s paths will cross soon at the Separtists’ cache
(part of Bail’s journey to clear the Jedi’s names and accuse Palpy of malfeasance)
(pg 206)
Haki might have to interrupt his progress.
What is Haki’s true endgame?

Soujen has some of the most interesting murder fantasies (pg 198). Dreams of wiping out all of Saw Gerrera’s team including Karamara and
Nankry while they are in a vulnerable state in the cache.

The uneasy alliance between Soujen
and Saw Gerrera is slowly piquing my interest.

On a related note, I watched the last episode of Andor Season 1 while on the elliptical earlier today. Tsk tsk, Perrin (hubby of Mon Mothma) for shaming Mon with your gambling on Coruscant!
Go to Canto Bight if you have to waste credits that may or may not be yours to waste!

A good read even if there is a lack of pew pew pew. Lots of political maneuvering on the part of Mon Mothma and Bail Organa.
Question - What are the true motives of
Haki/Chemish - the alien who appears to extract Bail from the seedy nightclub where the senator is looking for a forger (Den) to look into the fake Jedi transcript that frame them?

A slower-paced but still interesting SW book that explores the origins of the Rebel Alliance
in the direct aftermath of Palpatine’s
ascension as Emperor.
Looking forward to seeing how three very different personalities (Saw, Mon, and Bail)
try to co-exist in the early days of The Empire as they all want to make galactic-wide changes in their own way.
