Rule of Two (Star Wars: Darth Bane, Book 2)

Drew Karpyshyn is my hero.

The story of Darth Bane continues as he grows more powerful with the Dark side.

Um bom livro, mas não a altura do seu predecessor. Este livro tem dois graves defeitos, o primeiro, não conta a história de Darth Bane, mas sim de sua aprendiz Darth Zhannah. Segundo, ele foi escrito em seis meses apenas e isso transparece na história inteira. Uma pena, a história prometia tanto depois do Path of Destruction.

I love Darth Zannah as a character she is one of the most human Sith Lords that I have ever read. She has real feelings and desires that characters like Darth Bane lack.

Yes, I'm a cheeseball and love SW books. This was a good one - but then again, anything that fills in some of the blanks around sith ancient history is a+ with me.

This is a pretty good sequel to Karpyshyn's previous Darth Bane novel. In this novel, we see Darth Bane and his new apprentice, Zannah,institute the rule of two on the Sith Order and attempt to gain greater knowledge and power while slightly diverting the attention of the Jedi away from them. It has plenty of action and intrigue in it, much like the previous book, but what it lacked was the...more

This is a pretty good sequel to Karpyshyn's previous Darth Bane novel. In this novel, we see Darth Bane and his new apprentice, Zannah,institute the rule of two on the Sith Order and attempt to gain greater knowledge and power while slightly diverting the attention of the Jedi away from them. It has plenty of action and intrigue in it, much like the previous book, but what it lacked was the same character development we read before. Though there isn't much more that can be done developing Bane, it would have been nice if Karpyshyn had spent more time developing Zannah's character, especially during the ten years of her training before the main events of the novel take place. Also, did Johun Othone, one of the Jedi Knights killed at the end, really have to die? I think it would have been more interesting if he had lived to plague the Sith in the next novel. Again, another great addition to the Star Wars canon, but missing that certain something from the previous novel.   hide

Darth zannah (think that's spelled wrong) is sexy. that's all I got to say.

Before Reading this book, make sure you have read the first book in this series called Path of Destruction. This book picks up right where Path of Destruction left off. In it we witness Darth Bane train the little girl he met at the end of the fisrt book. She grows to be Zannah and is quite possibly one of the most determined characters I have seen in quite some time. Her motives are for...more

Before Reading this book, make sure you have read the first book in this series called Path of Destruction. This book picks up right where Path of Destruction left off. In it we witness Darth Bane train the little girl he met at the end of the fisrt book. She grows to be Zannah and is quite possibly one of the most determined characters I have seen in quite some time. Her motives are for herself and she truly does emulate evil. Bane continues his research to become a better Sith while teaching Zannah. A definitie must read for Star Wars fans. Darth Bane is a story that is begging to be told. I look forward to the third book of this trilogy.   hide

I find some of the side jedi story very slow and uninteresting. Bane didn't captivate me as much as he did in the first book. However, it's still an enjoyable fast read.
