Star Wars - Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader book review

I really liked what Luceno did here with Vader, almost bridging the gap between Anakin in the Clone Wars and Revenge of the Sith and Vader in the original trilogy. He's coming to terms with his recent trauma (most of it self-induced), and making up his mind to bury his past and to look towards his future. While I didn't dislike any of these original Jedi characters, I did feel like there were maybe too many of them here. Still, if you're coming off of Revenge of the Sith and you want to see more with Vader, this is the book for you.
