Darth Bane: Star Wars Legends 3-Book Bundle: Path of Destruction, Rule of Two, Dynasty of Evil (Star Wars: Darth Bane Trilogy - Legends)

I have to be honest, I was expecting these books to be just some little stories that could give me a better notion of the history of the force, you know a regular read to pass the time and get some geeky knowledge of the star wars universe, but oh man it was one of the most fantastic reading experiences i have had in my life. In my humble opinion: what's the best? All 3 books are amazing, none of them disappoints, and the story builds up just perfect through all of them. What's the worst? (Corny and perhaps cheaty) the trilogy ends! I mean i had such an amazing ride with these books that I am honestly a bit sad that i reached the end. Anyway, i definitely recommend these books and i totally think Disney should consider them canon. Thanks to the author Drew for his amazing writing!

This book was a definite must for fans of Star Wars cannon. Would recommend to continue on with entire series. Simply amazing! Multiple plots that tie nicely with main theme. Rich characters.

This series is pretty entertaining. It brings a lot to the sith mythos. I did enjoy it, it is a must read along with Darth Plageuis, which one of the best Star Wars novels, next to the Heir to the empire trilogy. But the Bane Trilogy is kind of formulaic. Bane Suffers, over comes adversity, gets virtually defeated, finds a holocrone and dominates his enemies. Overall very interesting how the character changes circumstances but never really changes. The first book is good the second book is better, and the 3rd book is Ok.

Karpyshyn does a great job of telling a story that we are so used to be told over video that its hard to notice that its a book. I should begin by saying that I am not an avid reader. But recently I needed to fly about 10+ hours, and I haven't been able to sleep on flights recently, so I decided to load up my Kindle app. I figured if its something I'm interested in maybe I would be able to read it and not be bored out of my mind. There's a clear reason that the books are NY Times bestsellers. There is an ample amount of imagery and description for a set of characters and worlds, but also leaves enough room for your own mind to fill in the blanks and assume certain things based on the things you've seen from Star Wars in the past. In my opinion a perfect balance between letting you imagine the story, but also giving you enough information that you see the story unfold right before your eyes. Now whats really great is that you get all 3 in one package, which means you don't need to hunt the rest down, and they all flow right after one another. If you're looking for a way to kill time till episode 8, or about to hop on a long flight, I say download all three, and even if you read a few pages a night, you will enjoy the experience of experiencing the world of Star Wars through a different channel.

This is one of my favorite Star wars sagas is the tale of Darth bane and the rule of two I would suggest this for anyone interested in Old School sith stories and about how the galactic wars happened between the sith and the Jedi excellent writing great lightsaber fights really talks about the force highly suggested

I think that the Bane series is the best of all the Star Wars books. This is certainly personal opinion, and someone could make a counter-claim for any series, and I couldn't refute it without referring to personal preference in many or possibly most cases. I will propose why I think this is the best of the series: 1) Sith are cool 2) Bane and his apprentice are awesome 3) The foundation and thinking for the Sith established is the only one that makes sense 4) You end up respecting the heck out of all the Sith lords afterwards and have a deeper sense of Sidious and the thinking and rationale of his lineage as a result - Sidious is the culmination of Bane's vision! 5) It deepens and complicates the mythology of the force in ways that Jedi focused novels never can 6) You get to see the seedier side of the Universe the Jedi live in: The Jedi live in a kind of bubble, and by reading Jedi focused novels, you only see this universe through the Jedi bubble. These novels give you an insight into the seedier, darker side of this universe and take you out of the Jedi bubble. Money, wealth, power, prestige doesn't matter to the Jedi, and so there is always an idealized veneer through which this space-travelling culture is seen in most novels. The Bane series shows you the universe and the motivations that move and drive the 'other people' in this galaxy - and quite honestly, provides a more complex and interesting picture of this galaxy and the people who live in it.

I've read this series a few times now, and all I can say is WOW! It's unfortunate that this is no longer considered Canon. These books and Plagueis should have been made into Canon. It would have been amazing to see how the Rule of Two would have continued to play out through the generations of Sith Lords. I'm curious to see how Disney will play this all out- or if they ever will. I've read all of the new Canon and have only found a few I truly enjoyed. There is no in-between these days. Either the book is fantastic, or it's really bad. After reading Battlefront 2, I've decided to go back and re-read my older Star Wars books again. The Darth Bane series is a great set. It's been a few years since I've read it, but still as good as the first time I did. The author did a phenomenal job writing Darth Bane's character and gives an inside look to as why the Sith were always doomed to fail against the Jedi. Hence leading the way to the Rule of Two. A master; one to embody the power. And an apprentice; one to crave it.

The book was great. Sure there are boring parts, but they are few and far between. The book has a lot of exciting descriptions and it clears up a lot of definitions and facts about the Sith and Jedi, differences between Jedi and Dark Jedi. It also clearly states both the Jedi Code and the Sith Code in full. I'm an avid Star Wars fan and I'm always on the lookout for more Star Wars facts. A lot of people ask me about Star Wars stuff because they know I can answer it. Definitely an important Star Wars history book.

The dark side of the force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be "unnatural". If one is to comprehend the true nature of the force, one must study ALL of it's aspects.

Extremely good. Different threads came together from across the trilogy and wove an intricate story that gave one everything you expect from the Sith and the origin story of the Rule of Two. Fabulous.

In my opinion these books are an important lecture to understand the Rule of Two, and how it is important to Siths!!!

An exciting read that was hard to put down. Always developing adventure and exciting character growth you want to sink your teeth into. def recommend this series

This 3 pack is a good read. It fills in some gaps in the lore and is paced fairly well.
