"We find true strength when we look in the mirror and see our own imperfections, when we admit to others that we need help. None of us need to be alone. That's what the Jedi Order is. Despite all its flaws, despite all our mistakes, we go on together. We support each other. And we ask for help."

I love everything about Tears of the Nameless. Reath and Cohmac have always been my favorite master/padawan duo, and this book only cemented that.

The addition of Amadeo and Lox to the cast was also great, and I loved seeing how Reath dealt with having someone younger to "mentor".

There are a couple decisions that are pretty silly and clearly only made to achieve a certain plot point (
while a sad moment, the plan that killed Lox made *no sense*
) but none of them really interfered on how much I enjoyed this book.

Every single conversation about doubting yourself, accepting your choices and keep trying to improve perfectly encapsulated what I personally think is the most important theme of Star Wars: hope.
