The only good thing about all this is that Jaina is pretty much safe from anything overly nasty for the next 20 years or so.
Isolder dying could be cool. I mean, he hadn't really done anything useful for awhile (there was plenty of wondering over whether he was still alive, even) and it could work in the plot. I liked him, but not so much that it's NOOOOOO!, and I'm going to keep an open mind.
Jaina - it's not her fault she had to do what she did, but it's somebody's, and probably lazy writers (or lazy people telling the writers what to put in the books) who wanted to take the Jacen-dies route instead of coming up with something a little more creative. Banished and Force-stripped. Jailed with ysalimiri all around. A total madman that even the Force will have nothing to do with. Alive, but with most of his body gone, far more than even Vader, requiring him to have a droid body that won't respond to the Force except in the most minute ways from the flesh that is left (like, head, neck, and a little piece of torso or something... then again I think something like that happened in the Dune prequels)
The Allana situation - I can't complain too much since I wrote something sort of similar back in '06. Of course, without reading the book I don't know for sure and the situations could be completely different.
I'm a little disappointed about Zekk, but if there's no body, then he might still be alive.
I'm halfway hoping that Zekk returns and helps redeem Tahiri and they end up together, because it's ten times better, IMHO, than Ben being Zekk's role in that, and I fear that those are the top two choices. We still have to get from Ben to Kol.
