### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great book.
  

*by D***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 15 May 2023*

The book was paced well and the characters were well written. I can't wait to read the next book in the series.

    Excellent beginning to the Darth Bane trilogy
  

*by S***4 on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 24 March 2023*

I got into reading the Star Wars books last year and always wanted to read more about Darth Bane. Book is fantastic! Drew Karpyshyn is an excellent Star Wars writer and I’ve since read all of his other entries in the book series. Really sad that Disney declared these all legends and they’re no longer cannon, would have loved to have seen these books adapted to the screen. Highly recommend if you’re interested in reading more about the Sith and the galaxy before the events of the films!

    one of the best Star Wars novels
  

*by S***D on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 20 June 2016*

This is one of the best Star Wars novels - mixing elements of the fictional universe created by George Lucas with an original plot, set during the distant past, and involving a new and highly fascinating character. This book introduces Darth Bane - who, although protagonist, is actually the villain of the story. "Path of Destruction" is the first volume in a three-part series of novels about the life of this incredibly powerful Dark Lord of the Sith, written by Drew Karpyshyn. Given the quality of the storytelling, alongside the expert handling of the Star Wars mythos, I fully recommend all three novels.This initial instalment in the trilogy takes place just over 1,000 years before the events of 'A New Hope'. The galaxy is divided and at war - with the Sith Order amassing its armies against the Jedi and the Republic they defend. On a remote mining world, a strong and muscular worker named Dessel - who, unbeknownst to others, is strong with the Force - must flee, as he becomes a wanted man. He enlists into the ranks of the Sith army - and quickly distinguishes himself as a warrior. It's then that the Sith realise the true potential within Dessel - and so they decide to teach him the ancient ways of their Order, and he is renamed Darth Bane.Bane quickly excels - but feels that his teachers lack the knowledge and powers to adequately instruct him in the ways of the Force. So he embarks upon a journey of discovery, seeking the ancient and long-forgotten wisdom of the early Sith. Eventually he finds the Temple of the Ancients, and Bane discovers Darth Revan's holocron. Using this knowledge, Bane crafts the Rule of Two - that the Sith ought to comprise of no more than a master and an apprentice ... all others are superfluous. And so he decides to destroy the other Sith - using a mythical weapon known as the thought bomb. The story culminates on a world in the midst of a battle between the Sith and Jedi - and it's there that Bane proves his mastery ...If you're a Star Wars fan, I cannot recommend this novel too highly. It's action-packed, fast paced, with an interesting story and a great main character. I especially enjoyed discovering events and worlds set so long before the films. More than anything, this book is a lot of fun.
