A review by smiorganbaldhead
Darth Plagueis by James Luceno

4.0

This book is all about political machinations behind the scenes of Palpatine’s rise to power, focusing more on him that on Plagueis himself. It wasn’t what I was expecting, but I still really enjoyed it. I imagine I might have liked it even more had I read more of the pre-Phantom Menace EU books (as I’ve mostly focused on the New Republic Era so far). There are many references to events the I suppose are told in more detail in those books.
