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
