Scott's Take: Book of Sith: Secrets From The Dark Side by Daniel Wallace


Book of Sith: Secrets From The Dark Side by Daniel Wallace is an expanded universe novel from before Disney purchased the Star Wars franchise and threw the canon into the trash. This book collects various pictures, documents, journals and more by various Sith members throughout their history. If one would like to read the original history of the Sith or would like to see how things were before Disney blew it all up, this is a good read for that.

Book of Sith: Secrets From The Dark Side answers questions like how did the rule of two begin? How were the Sith originally formed? How did the Sith go from being thousands to two? How did Palpatine plan the clone wars? What was the first war between the Sith and the Jedi like?
   
This book answers those questions and more. There is also commentary provided by Mace Windu, Luke Skywalker, Yoda, and more, in the margins of the page refuting the points the Sith writers argue. It is just a fun varied read that covers various points in Sith History. I recommended it for Star Wars fans, especially ones who would like to know more about the Sith and their history. At hundred fifty nine pages Book of Sith: Secrets From The Dark Side is not a very long read, but it is an interesting one.


My reading copy came from the Downtown Branch of the Dallas Public Library.
