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

One of my all time favorites. The Bane trilogy is a masterpiece of the star wars mythos. The story of Bane reveals the underlying philosophy of the sith and is a worthy successor to Drew's work on KOTOR. A must read for any Star Wars enthusiasts.

Though the series is now considered non cannon or tells deserves the title of legend. Truly a masterpiece. The rise of Darth Bane and his legacy are exactly what the star wars universe needs now.

I have recently embarked on a quest to read all of the major stories of the Star Wars saga; and while I grew up playing the games and watching the movies, it was not until recently that I made the effort to pick up a few of the books. At the time of this review, I have read the Darth Bane Trilogy, played Knights of the Old Republic, read the story of Revan, and enjoyed the short stories of the Lost Tribe of the Sith.However, no story has yet filled in more of the history of the origins of the universe than the Darth Bane trilogy. I had always seen and heard of Rakata items and lore, but it was not until this trilogy that I associated them with the beginning of the force users. Similarly, I'd helped destroy the infamous Starforge, but I had a hard time placing its significance in the grand scheme of the universe as a whole (rather than just isolated to that video game series).The story of Darth Bane helps readers make the transition from the Sith as they're represented in the Old Republic to the Sith as they're seen in the movies. The trilogy is packed with Star Wars history and is a must read for any Star Wars fan. Aside from its historical significance, it's an enjoyable read.The story follows no more than three protagonists at a time, balancing your attention span against the need to cover conflicting and intertwining stories; and the characters are relatable (as relatable as fictional beings can be), and the writing style is light, enjoyable, and fun.All-in-all, I'd recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Sci-Fi, is thinking about beginning their Star Wars journey, or is simply looking for a quick and easy read.

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 cool2) Bane and his apprentice are awesome3) The foundation and thinking for the Sith established is the only one that makes sense4) 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 can6) 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.

Every Star Wars fan should read this. I couldn't put it down. It deserves it's own movie. It's the best of the Star Wars books.

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.

For anyone who really likes the Old Republic era of Star Wars. This book takes places quite a while after the events of the Knights of the Old Republic games. I quite like most of the books this author has made for the Star Wars universe.

Loved the pace and details provided by the author. How they showed things from the dark side perspective was intriguing. Definitely one of the best star wars series to date.

This is what Star Wars was meant to be! Hands down the greatest Star Wars books I have ever read. Disney needs to get this guy writing movie scripts for them.

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.

I think I've read these three books in record time. Absolutely amazing, informative and entertaining. I will appreciate Star Wars much better now Highly recommended.
