The title is pretty misleading, as the Star Sapphires and the Zammarons are only a small part of the story. There’s some pretty significant developments with the implementation of the next new rule in the Book of Oa and the Sinestro Corp using psychological ware fare by attacking GL family members (Kryb in particular is one of the creepiest monsters this series has ever depicted).

A major gripe I have with this book though is Guy and Kyle’s remarks about repeat offenders and whether criminals can be rehabilitated. Both claim it’s impossible when shown the brainwashing systems the Sapphires have in place, and while I think they are right to feel uncomfortable about the Sapphires’ methods, to have them say rehabilitation is *impossible* makes them sound extremely out of character. I expect dated ideas like that to come out of Guy’s mouth, but not Kyle’s. It feels like the writer just wanted to make the ideological gap as wide as possible and took a shortcut to do it. All that being said, this is all great set-up for future stories, and I’m really looking forward to seeing how everyone reacts to the events of this story moving forward.
