Relation Concering Books Rule of Two (Star Wars: Darth Bane #2)
In the New York Times bestseller Darth Bane: Path of Destruction, Drew Karpyshyn painted a gripping portrait of a young mans journey from innocence to evil. That man was Darth Bane, a twisted genius whose iron will, fierce ambition, and strength in the dark side of the Force made him a natural leader among the Sith until his radical embrace of an all-but-forgotten wisdom drove him to destroy his own order . . . and create it anew from the ashes. As the last surviving Sith, Darth Bane promulgated a harsh new directive: the Rule of Two.Two there should be; no more, no less.
One to embody the power, the other to crave it.
Now Darth Bane is ready to put his policy into action, and he thinks he has found the key element that will make his triumph complete: a student to train in the ways of the dark side. Though she is young, Zannah possesses an instinctive link to the dark side that rivals his own. With his guidance, she will become essential in his quest to destroy the Jedi and dominate the galaxy.
But there is one who is determined to stop Darth Bane: Johun Othone, Padawan to Jedi Master Lord Hoth, who died at Banes hands in the last great Sith War. Though the rest of the Jedi scoff at him, Joshuas belief that there are surviving Sith on the loose is unshakeable.
As Johun continues his dogged pursuit of the man who killed his master, Zannah, faced unexpectedly with a figure from her past, begins to question her embrace of the dark side. And Darth Bane is led by Force-induced visions to a moon where he will acquire astonishing new knowledge and power, power that will alter him in ways he could never have imagined. . . .

First, there should be more stars that have something to say about bad books, because out of the five-star system above, only one says that I "didn't like it." Well, just as there are degrees of "liking" there are degrees of "not liking" and this one would probably be at the bottom of the latter.The first book, "Path of Destruction" was actually pretty good. The best part of that book was probably reading about Bane's training in Korriban, and how he went from a despised trainee to a cunningDarth Bane: Rule of Two was an intense and very dark tale in the Star Wars Universe, about 1000 years before the Star Wars films. Although I enjoyed it, I had to stop often to absorb the grim and rather depressing nature of the Sith story. As this is a sequel, it follows directly after Darth Bane: Path of Destruction. However, unlike its predecessor, it does not focus primarily on the story of the title character, Darth Bane. This book is mostly about Bane's apprentice, Darth Zannah. This did
Good story, but predictable and juvenile. As I mentioned for the first book of this series, it's video game origins are readily apparent.Avoids the usual fan fiction limitations by including none of "the usual [Star Wars] suspects" by being set longer ago than even "long,long ago."Speaking of which . . . it's interesting how the technology of the Star Wars galaxy seems frozen. There's no appreciable improvement in anything--medicine, weapons, transportation--in the thousands of years spanned by
"Darth Zannah, you are my apprentice. The heir to my legacy"After greatly enjoying Star Wars. Darth Bane - Path of Destruction (PoD), I delved into part two. Bane begins his training of his heir, Zannah, in the Dark Arts and continues to add confusion to the Republic and the Jedi Order. Can't really expand more on it than that, to be honest. What I Liked: One of the best things about this book is how it deals with such an under-explored area: the Sith. I enjoyed reading more about Bane, what
Just as good as the first of the Darth Bane books. I like the author's style. He does an excellent job of humanizing characters that would likely be stereotypical one-dimensional "bad guys" on the big screen. It was a glimpse into the mindset and the viewpoint of the Dark-Siders. It offers an intriguing alternative philosophy of the nature of the Force, filling in some of the gaps left between the cryptic quotes of Darth Sidious, Darth Maul, and Darth Vader. You will be hard-pressed to consider
Rule of Two is the second novel in Drew Karpyshyn's Darth Bane trilogy. The first book in the series, Path of Destruction, was based on a classic comic that Karpyshyn eviscerated in order to tell a "better" version of the same story. Rule of Two benefits from being a completely original tale, though the novel as a whole isn't much of an improvement.(view spoiler)[The novel picks up where Path of Destruction left off. Darth Bane taken former Jedi student Zannah as his apprentice, and before they
This was alright. I started losing some interest toward the end, but it is probably still one of the better Star Wars books.
