Ah, yeah. Luke Ben trying to take on Caedus all by himself (idiot! -especially since he should have realized from the start that Jacen was dark), Luke not killing Caedus when he had the chance (double idiot!), and... Well, that's all I remember (I haven't read Legacy of the Force in years), but I'm sure there's more. Ben’s first response to finding dead Mara made me think Jacen mins scrubbed him again, like his internal monologue didn’t immediate start trying to find a way to punish Jacen because it was so incredibly obvious who did it.

Ah, the broken Alema. She never got over the loss of her sister. It was a source of permanent grief. I very much like that they gave a little recap of her life thus far because I somehow decided that the best way to read the series is in reverse order (FotJ first, now Legacy, and I guess next would be the Black Nest).
