Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader by James Luceno

5.0

At first, I wasn't so interested in this book. It is important to note that this isn't just about Darth Vader. It is both the story of Vader and a Jedi who survives order 66. Which is what confused and annoyed me at first. Quickly though, the books picks up with thrilling action acting as a great character study of Darth Vader and gives great insight into the Emperor, Vader, their relationship, and each other's thoughts, feelings, and motivations. A must-read for Star Wars fans that helps bridge the gap between the prequels and originals better than many of the shows and films do.
