5.0 out of 5 stars Pleasantly fresh and chillingly sinister storytelling, 24 Jun 2008
By Grunde A. Grepstad Thorheim "gagt" (Norway) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: "Star Wars": Darth Bane - Rule of Two (Hardcover)
Quite a few months after finishing the excellent Path of Destruction, I had my fair share of scepticism to Karpyshyn's follow-up and conclusion of the tale of Darth Bane.

Going by the ridiculous cover art, and my having too much experience and awareness of lackluster second parts in storytelling, I feared Karpyshyn could not top or even equal the chilling anti-hero we grew up with in Path of Destruction. Oh, was I wrong.

Without going into the specifics, I'll be safe to say that Darth Bane - the novel and the character - never lets go. One of very few Star Wars novels centered around one of the Great Ancient Sith Lords, it continues the stream of insight into the cold-blooded ways of the Sith Karpyshyn began in the first novel. But that is not this tale's only strength.

In addition to a set of well thought out and highly interesting characters, the novel boasts a certain uniqueness, something fresh. The plentiful - but absolutely nowhere near generic - well-written battles and conflicts all keep you reading the book at top speed, and you might end up holding your breath at a certain few epic heights in the story.

While I'm certain people will find minor annoyances to nickpit at, such as the slightly different way Karpyshyn portrays combat use of the Force, my overall impression is that this is the best Star Wars novel I've read for years (out of many, after NJO's conclusion).

It might be I just have a morbid fascination of the dark side and its uses and users, but I do highly recommend this (and the first Darth Bane novel, if you for some reason skipped it) to any Star Wars fan or person interested in dark storytelling.

4.0 out of 5 stars Dark , powerful stuff !, 13 Feb 2008
By Mr. Mg Reynolds "Carry On fan" (Oxfordshire UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: "Star Wars": Darth Bane - Rule of Two (Hardcover)
If you are a lover of light fluffy insubstantial sci-fi then don't read this dark , violent and at times macabre tale of how the the Sith got up & running again . It is a nice easy read as it only took me a couple of evenings to get through and ends as abruptly as it starts . This book keeps you on the edge of your seat and would be the superb basis for a cartoon type movie . The characters have real depth and the imagery that this brilliant writer constructs is pretty powerful . I already look forward to the next novel in this sinister series and won't say more for fearing of ruining the suprise factor of all the dramatic twists and turns that so impressed me when I read it a few days ago . Amazon.co.uk are doing us customers a great favour by selling this at such a superb discount . If you love great sci-fi books then this is for you !

5.0 out of 5 stars Return of the Sith, 7 Mar 2008
This review is from: "Star Wars": Darth Bane - Rule of Two (Hardcover)
This is Drew Karpyshyn's second book in the Darth Bane series and the two are quite honestly the best star wars books you can buy.
I have read much of the new jedi order series and others but these books give an insight in the force that not even the films managed.
The characters are some of the best of any canon star wars material and the books are really just a joy to read and will leave you wanting more!

I would strongly urge any star wars fan especially those sick of constant infighting between jedi to buy these books and get a whole new perspective on the force - you will not be dissapointed!
