Darth Plagueis
temmy says:
This is a book that every Star Wars fan needs to read. I can honestly say that I appreciate Episodes I through III so much more than I ever did before. While not an entirely linear story, you first meet Darth Plagueis as he is poised to become the most powerful Sith Lord in existence. Soon you go back in time and learn how the intelligent Hego Damask grows up and is recruited by Darth Tenebrous to be his apprentice. I love how Damask's public persona is contrasted with his Sith person...a. They are one in the same but you would never guess it in Damask's public dealings. Plagueis is a very rich and complicated character. I have never been a fan of the dark side before, but his brilliant machinations and thirst for ultimate power over life and death made me a huge fan of Plagueis.You also first meet Palpatine in this story. His character was so well-written there were certain points where I got chills just knowing what was going through his head. I have a much greater appreciation for his character in the movies now that I see how skillfully he handled his high-profile life in politics along with his ever increasing skills as a Sith Lord. The story itself give you an inside look to the politics of the Sith, the Jedi, and the Republic just before Episode I begins. There are power struggles already in place long before the events that are portrayed there. You also have so many plot holes of the story filled in that it's a wonder that this book wasn't conceived prior to The Phantom Menace being filmed. Honestly, I was enthralled by this book. I didn't want to stop and by the last part I was almost giddy with how the story was playing out for Plagueis and Palpatine. Read it and you will not be disappointed.

One of the more well written Star Wars novels I've read. The characters were brought to life in a believable way and I found them interesting. I enjoyed seeing things from the Sith point of view, how their view of the Force differs from the Jedi, and their motivations and history, etc. This book probably wouldn't be that good without context, as.a self contained story, but it answered most of my WTF questions from the prequel movies, making them seem...less bad, anyway.MoreLess

I enjoyed the book, it gave incite into events that we already knew happened, but not specifics. Also, gives us some back story into Palpatine. Good read overall...

The book is ok. It fell short by going off in too many tangets, then turned into a slow build up to what we already know happened.
