"Force Heretic" continues its inexplicable move of making sure we know how planets from the least-interesting Bantam-era novels are holding up; Refugee specifically fills us in on the Ssi-ruvvi, the violent xenophobic reptiles last seen in The Truce at Bakura. It is not remotely interesting.
Also Luke and Mara and company get bogged down in Chiss politics while visiting a library. This subplot is possibly even duller than that synopsis makes it sound. I can't even begin to describe how uninteresting it is.

Han and Leia visit Bakura. Luke and Mara contact the Chiss during their search for the living planet Zonama Sekot. Nom Anor builds power though his fake Jedi religion in the ruins of Coruscant. It's OK, but feels like a lot of side stories that don't advance this trilogy very much, and that advance the whole New Jedi Order story even less.
Intrigue, betray, mystery, startling discoveries: good stuff!
