Darth
Bane: Path of Destruction
By Drew Karpyshyn
Reviewed by Bones, UK
Reviewer's Score: 4 / 5
An exciting look at the Sith and the Dark Side [...]
Karpyshyn takes his time in setting up a clear character for Bane
[...] the opening of the book deals with Bane before his Sith training
[...] Bane's future is hinted at through brief glimpses of his abilities
[...] you find yourself rooting for the protagonist, but Karpyshyn never lets you forget that he is the consummate antihero... read

Darth
Bane: Rule of Two
By Drew Karpyshyn
Reviewed by Bones, UK
Reviewer's Score: 3.5 / 5

nothing that seriously jars... read full

Darth
Bane: Dynasty of Evil
By Drew Karpyshyn
Reviewed by Bones, UK
Reviewer's Score: 3 / 5
I enjoyed reading this book [...] the plot ties the three books together quite well
[...] lots of clever links used to create a web of interconnecting plot lines
[...] biggest flaws of the book: it is rather predictable
[...] motives and actions of the characters are quite transparent
[...] ense and literary tension, but instead the motives and actions of the characters are quite
transparent [...] only at the end are there moments when it is unclear as to which of two directions the plot will take
[...] wasn't quite up to the standard of the preceding novels... read
