Okay I'm going to keep this short and to the point as well as not giving away too many details so I don't spoil this book for any of you who haven't read it yet.
Review
I thought this was a very well written book by James Luceno. It is obviously about Darth Plagueis (his rise to power and time as a Sith Lord) but it also explains how and why Darth Sidious turned to the dark side, and in turn, his rise to Sith Lord. And to top it all of it briefly mentions the finding and apprenticing of Darth Maul. For a Star Wars fan like me, who is an advocate for the dark side, this is a very cool book that gives you a look into how the Sith really operate. This book doesn't have as much action as one might expect from a Star Wars novel but instead focuses more on the political manipulations within the Republic which are almost always set into motion by the Sith in hopes of achieving their revenge against the Jedi. This book is the perfect prequel to the Star Wars movies and my only complaint with it was that in the last couple chapters it seemed to rush to a conclusion. All in all, I would recommend that any Star Wars fan who is interested in knowing more about the Sith go and pick it up.
