Silja_Camilla | Apr 13, 2024 |   However, as it turns out, this book is now considered Legends. Meaning, that when Disney bought up Lucasfilm which includes all of Star Wars they decided to tag all existing books, comics, etc as Legends material which is no longer considered canon. They did this to make room for their own stories, sequels, prequels (I assume some day) and the sort. Indeed, the books I read previous to this one are of the new canon. This makes sense. But I would not let that fact keep you from reading this or any other Legends books. Until such time that they ever contradict these stories it is just as enjoyable as if it was still "canon". (  ) sgsmitty | Jun 14, 2023 |  ) justgeekingby | Jun 6, 2023 | This book starts off nearly 70 years BBY [Before the Battle of Yavin] on the Legends Timeline. And even though it's called "Darth Plageuis" it's actually about Palpatine and his rise to power more than it is about his master. I know other readers have been very disappointed about this and it's quite understandable; at first, I was a bit miffed too but then I really started to pay attention to the story and it hooked me. There are many things about Darth Plageuis throughout the book and how he played behind the scenes, especially in his civilian role as Hego Damask of Damask Holdings on Muun. The experiments Plageuis conducted are discussed and I was pleased to read/hear when a favorite villain was introduced too. The story goes right up through Episode One: The Phantom Menace and the parts Palpatine played in that story. **All thoughts and opinions are my own.** ( ) The_Literary_Jedi | Apr 2, 2022 | This book is actually more about Darth Sidious than Darth Plagueis. The author really must be a big Star Wars fan. From a couple spoken lines about Darth Plagueis in the second trilogy, he was able to expand and really make Darth Plagueis and Darth Sidious more than just evil Sith Lords. A lot of the characters from the second trilogy make an appearance (strangely no Yoda). I did struggle through the descriptions on technologies and the huge cast of characters in the Star Wars universe. The author chose to skip some, what could have been, fascinating parts of Darth Sidious' descent. However, I was pleasantly surprise the book was not filled with light saber battles and just pleasantly surprised overall.

Lots of force, violence and scheaming. The book focus as much on Palpatine as it does Plagueis, and, odd as it is to say about someone who is the titular character, I wanted more Plagueis. However he and Palpatine were both excelent. There was also a touching look into Darth Maul’s background. I never imagined I would feel sympathy for him, but now I do.
I joined the recently started r/fantasy bookbingo and read this for the prompt “Rrologues and epilogues” as the book has both, but also, in its capacity of being vowen into so many other Star Wars stories also serve as prologue to other stories.
