A disappointment that continues a long tradition of Star Wars villains being under-represented in their own books. The writing is fine, but unlike the recent Tarkin or the excellent Darth Plagueis, the titular characters just have nothing interesting to do or say for most of the story. So much time is spent developing their antagonists that we learn nothing about the Sith besides the fact that Vader is prone to mopey Anakin moments and Palpatine enjoys mind-games with his staff. In fact, the most interesting part of the whole novel is learning that an Imperial Moff had a same-sex marriage. That's really it. You get a glimpse at how the organization of the Rebellion started in Rhyloth, but that would make "Twi'lek Insurgency" a more fitting title than Lords of the Sith. Anakin Skywalker, cavaleiro Jedi, é só uma distante lembrança. Darth Vader, recém nomeado como lorde Sith, está em ascensão. O aprendiz escolhido pelo Imperador provou rapidamente seu compromisso com o lado sombrio. Porém, a história da ordem Sith envolve duplicidade, traição e pupilos violentamente tomando o lugar de seus mestres, e a verdadeira lealdade de Vader ainda não foi provada – até agora. Em Ryloth, planeta explorado e escravizado pelo Império, um colérico movimento de resistência vai tentar atacar o coração de uma ditadura implacável, em uma ousada missão para assassinar seus lÃderes. Para o Imperador e Darth Vader, Ryloth se torna mais do que uma insurreição a ser detida. Quando uma emboscada os derruba na superfÃcie do planeta, o relacionamento entre eles será colocado à prova como nunca antes. Podendo contar apenas com seus sabres de luz, o lado negro da Força e a ajuda um do outro, os dois Sith precisarão decidir se os laços brutais que dividem os farão aliados vitoriosos ou adversários letais. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

HTML:NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. . . . When the Emperor and his notorious apprentice, Darth Vader, find themselves stranded in the middle of insurgent action on an inhospitable planet, they must rely on each other, the Force, and their own ruthlessness to prevail. “It appears things are as you suspected, Lord Vader. We are indeed hunted.” Anakin Skywalker, Jedi Knight, is just a memory. Darth Vader, newly anointed Sith Lord, is ascendant. The Emperor’s chosen apprentice has swiftly proven his loyalty to the dark side. Still, the history of the Sith Order is one of duplicity, betrayal, and acolytes violently usurping their Masters—and the truest measure of Vader’s allegiance has yet to be taken. Until now. On Ryloth, a planet crucial to the growing Empire as a source of slave labor and the narcotic known as “spice,” an aggressive resistance movement has arisen, led by Cham Syndulla, an idealistic freedom fighter, and Isval, a vengeful former slave. But Emperor Palpatine means to control the embattled world and its precious resources—by political power or firepower—and he will be neither intimidated nor denied. Accompanied by his merciless disciple, Darth Vader, he sets out on a rare personal mission to ensure his will is done. For Syndulla and Isval, it’s the opportunity to strike at the very heart of the ruthless dictatorship sweeping the galaxy. And for the Emperor and Darth Vader, Ryloth becomes more than just a matter of putting down an insurrection: When an ambush sends them crashing to the planet’s surface, where inhospitable terrain and an army of resistance fighters await them, they will find their relationship tested as never before. With only their lightsabers, the dark side of the Force, and each other to depend on, the two Sith must decide if the brutal bond they share will make them victorious allies or lethal adversaries. Praise for Lords of the Sith “A compelling tale [that] gives us new insight into the relationship between Darth Vader and his master, Emperor Palpatine.”—New York Daily News “Endlessly fascinating . . . a tale [that is] not just compelling but completely thrilling.”—Big Shiny Robot “The best novel so far in this new era of official canon Star Wars stories.”—IGN “Packed with action . . . hard to put down.”—Seattle Geekly.

The only thing I have learned from their . . . Relationship was fear. Their interactions felt so empty, and Vader bowed before his master out fear, not loyalty.
The passage where The Emporer said he was a traitor to his loved ones, maybe in their eyes, but if you were groomed . . . does it make you a traitor?
I found a funny thing in one paragraph. Vader ignites his blade, and then in the next one, he activates it again? Was this an editorial mistake?
This story was totally action-packed with lots and lots of fight scenes, which was superb. I enjoyed it. Further, it was only about the Freedom fighters.
I felt this novel was short in explaining the relationship between Master and Apprentice. And I feel robbed. All in all, it's still a good novel in the new Canon. ( )
