Darth Bane dynasty of evil : a novel of the Old Republic

My first venture into the SW book universe and I am not disappointed. The book portrays Darth Bane as a great anti-hero and actually makes you feel sorry for him early on which makes it surprisingly easy to connect with people who are often portrayed as the villains of this universe and some of the Sith are surprisingly likeable. This book has the perfect blend of lightsaber and force action in between slow and methodical tactical planning which keeps it fresh and gripping from the outset and throughout. It also goes against most versions of the Sith as simple villains who just want to kill everything and everyone by explaining their extensive archives and methodology to their being. Excited to read the sequel and hope it is just as gripping as this book. 5/5

I liked it. Not as good as the first two books, but good. This was a decent ending and a solid story for the trilogy. I really liked the whole build up since the last book and I was expecting what everyone was, the final fight between the master and the apprentice, and the ending was oh so well written and it does not disappoint at all. What I didn't like was the constant and repetitive thoughts of the main characters were having, all the time, filling out pages and pages with the same thoughts over and over, I get that they were both obsessed with the same thing pretty much, but I could do without the gazillionth time of Zanna thinking "should I do that now? If I do it now he'll think this or that, maybe if I don't then that" again and again throughout the book. And sadly another thing I didn't like were the new characters that made their first appearance here, that were pretty much the supportive cast here that weren't at all interesting to me, or at least, they weren't for me because I was only focused on our main ones. Other than that, a solid story that at the end it definitely makes you want more and makes you wanna read what happens next! Wish there was a continuation.. but sadly.. there's not.

What a journey this one have been. Great story, one that I can't really say much about without spoiling it, but if you read the first book of the series, you're going to love this one. I was already a Karpyshyn fan since KotOR days, and this one does not disappoint at all. Bane and Zannah. Rule of Two and this one was a much darker than the previous one, and while I was trying to figure out what will happen, and was guessing again and again while reading without being able to put it down, it was always a surprise. There are some amazing moments in it, that you'll love, especially if you've followed characters since their very beginning, if you know some from comics before this novel, (chronologically) then it's going to be a much better experience. There's a fight in this one that it's going to be memorable and that while you're reading it's so very well written that you can practically see the damn fight happening in front of you. Loved every bit of it! Highly recommended!
