A review by booksnarks
Star Wars: Darth Vader, Volume 2: Shadows and Secrets by

4.0

I liked it almost as much as the first volume. I think, more than anything, I am rating this based on an emotional response - I like Dr. Aphra and Vader's relationship, I like the juxtaposition of the flashbacks, I like how Vader's desperately trying to uncover the secret behind Padme's death. It's also an interesting time for Darth Vader's character because he's not the Vader we saw in A New Hope anymore, but he is not yet the Vader we see in Return of the Jedi either. He's in this grey in between, and I think that's interesting to see.
