I finally finished the third and final novel in the Darth Bane trilogy. I enjoyed reading this because it is from a different perspective than most Star Wars stories. It is from the perspective of the Sith and explains the origins of the Rule of Two. I am more of a light side fan, but it was nice to read something from a different perspective. Overall, the trilogy is entertaining and sustains one's interest, especially if one is a Star Wars fan.

This is the second novel in the Darth Bane trilogy and a direct continuation of the first novel. Darth Bane has taken on an Apprentice, Darth Zannah, and is training her in the ways of the Sith. He is trying to sew deceit and destruction slowly among the Jedi and the Republic from the shadows. However, one Jedi Knight, Johun, is convinced that the Sith still exist and is determined to hunt them down and destroy the Sith once and for all. This is a good read, as was the first. I am ready to read the third and final novel in the trilogy and learn the ending.

The Darth Bane trilogy is written by the same author as Revan. It is set 3000 years after the events of Revan and the video game Knights of the Old Republic. This is the first novel in the trilogy and serves as Darth Bane's origin story. It chronicles how he journeyed from lowly miner on Apatros to Sith foot soldier to Dark Lord of the Sith and to destroying the Brotherhood of Darkness so that he could take the Sith in a new direction. He believes he has found the key to Sith dominance, which is that there should be a master and an apprentice. Two Sith. One to have power and one to crave it. Bane starts the tradition of the Sith that lasts all the way down to Sidious and Vader.
