Rob_Whaley | Sep 8, 2022 |    ) Amarj33t_5ingh | Jul 8, 2022 | Like a Sith Lord, I foresaw the most probable ending to this book at the start and still loved it. This is the last of the trilogy, and well, all the books are pretty good. This one focuses on Darth Bane as he searches for holocron with instructions to have eternal life while doubting if Zannah, his apprentice, would ever challenge him. Zannah goes in search of an apprentice before challenging Darth Bane. In the meantime, Princess Serra is hell-bent on revenge when she finds out Darth Bane killed her father. (luckily, we don't get a surprise twist in finding out Darth Bane is really her father). Thoroughly entertaining. ( ) wellington299 | Feb 19, 2022 | From the back cover: Twenty years have passed since Darth Bane, reigning Dark Lord of the Sith, reinvented the ancient order devoted to the dark side as a circle of two. One Master to wield the power and pass on the wisdom and one apprentice to learn, challenge, and ultimately usurp the Dark Lord in a duel to the death. But Bane's acolyte, Zannah has yet to prove herself a worthy successor. Determined that the Sith dream of galactic domination will not die with him, Bane vows to learn the secret of a forgotten Dark Lord that will assure the Sith's immortality- and his own. Zannah knows that her ruthless Master has begun to doubt her, and so she prepares for his downfall, plotting at last to wrest from Bane the mantle of Dark Lord of the Sith. Zannah pursues her Master from the grim depths of a ravaged world to the barren reaches of a desert outpost, where the future of the dark side's most powerful disciples will be decided by a final, fatal stroke of a lightsaber. ----------- In this, the final installment of the "Darth Bane trilogy", our two protagonists are on different missions / in different places for most of the action. In the end, Zannah does what we know that she will do -- however the ending, with Zannah SPOILER INCOMING twitching her hand open and closed as Bane did, leaves open the question if he survives on some level inside of her. How exactly, is open to interpretation by the reader. A quote I liked: "The dark side will give me power. It will guide me to my destiny" the Huntress replied confidently. "Only a fool believes that" the princess replied. "Look at me. i gave in to my hate. I let it consume me. My desire for revenge cost me everything and everyone I care about." "The dark side will devour those who lack the power to destroy it." Bane agreed. "It's a fierce storm of emotion that annhilates anything in its path. It lays waste to the weak and unworhty. But those who are strong can ride the storm winds to unfathomable heights." (  ) PokPok | Oct 3, 2020 | I also find that I enjoy these kind of novels set way back in the Star Wars universe because you can get new stories. The "more recent" stuff, close to the films, you just know how things have to turn out. As a disclosure note, I have not read much of the stuff set after the films (other than the Thrawn trilogy, which I did enjoy). But overall, liking this Old Republic stuff, especially the way old like this series. ( ) bloodravenlib | Aug 17, 2020 | sem crÃticas | adicionar uma crÃtica

HTML:Twenty years have passed since Darth Bane, reigning Dark Lord of the Sith, demolished the ancient order devoted to the dark side and reinvented it as a circle of two: one Master to wield the power and pass on the wisdom, and one apprentice to learn, challenge, and ultimately usurp the Dark Lord in a duel to the death. But Baneâ??s acolyte, Zannah, has yet to engage her Master in mortal combat and prove herself a worthy successor. Determined that the Sith dream of galactic domination will not die with him, Bane vows to learn the secret of a forgotten Dark Lord that will assure the Sithâ??s immortalityâ??and his own. A perfect opportunity arises when a Jedi emissary is assassinated on the troubled mining planet Doan, giving Bane an excuse to dispatch his apprentice on a fact-finding missionâ??while he himself sets out in secret to capture the ancient holocron of Darth Andeddu and its precious knowledge. But Zannah is no fool. She knows that her ruthless Master has begun to doubt her, and she senses that he is hiding something crucial to her future. If she is going to claim the power she craves, she must take action now. While Bane storms the remote stronghold of a fanatical Sith cult, Zannah prepares for her Masterâ??s downfall by choosing an apprentice of her own: a rogue Jedi cunning and cold-blooded enough to embrace the Sith way and to stand beside her when she at last wrests from Bane the mantle of Dark Lord of the Sith. But Zannah is not the only one with the desire and power to destroy Darth Bane. Princess Serra of the Doan royal family is haunted by memories of the monstrous Sith soldier who murdered her father and tortured her when she was a child. Bent on retribution, she hires a merciless assassin to find her tormentorâ??and bring him back alive to taste her wrath. Only a Sith who has taken down her own Master can become Dark Lord of the Sith. So when Bane suddenly vanishes, Zannah must find himâ??possibly even rescue himâ??before she can kill him. And so she pursues her quarry from the grim depths of a ravaged world on the brink of catastrophe to the barren reaches of a desert outpost, where the future of the dark sideâ??s most powerful disciples will be decided, once and for all, by the final, fa Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

If anyone wants to get started reading the Star Wars books, I recommend they start with the Bane trilogy. (
