Rule of Two is a continuation of the Darth Bane series, picking up right at the end of the first book. Bane, having found Zannah, takes the girl on as his apprentice in the ways of the Sith. The timeline moves forward swiftly, with Bane establishing a network in the background to start the rise of the Sith to power.
For every step forward this book took, it took another two backward. The chracters were entertaing and well fleshed out, but at the same time they made decisions without apparent rhyme or reason, and sometimes blundered through a formulaic progression. Zannah is frequently tempted to turn away from the dark side, and while on a few instances she has cause to return to Bane, in a handful, the evidence would indicate that she should leave, but doesn't, and the question as to how she convinced herself hangs like an albatross.
Combat simiarly was inventive and tried to be well detailed, but at times they regressed into uber-fan speak. I didn't know what Form I-VI were, and still don't care. If a style has a name fine, but don't rattle off a classification and expect a general audience to understand.
The overall plot was formulaic and boring, with no real climax and a rather lame resolution. The twist at the end was entertaining, and had a touch of dark side premeditation how ever piece snapped together, but otherwise, it wasn't anything I hadn't already read in the Darth Maul books, though with two X chromosomes and a healthy dollop of female emotional drama. Zannah is the high school musical equivalent of a Sith. She wasn't bloodspitting warmonger like Maul, or a puppeteer like Palpatine, or even a Sithian philosopher like Darth Bane. She was just a little girl playing with force lightning. A few quotable phrases and some nice usage of atmosphere are the only things that prevented this form being 1 star. In comic book format, this may have done better, but it was hard to see Zannah as a Sith when all I thought of was a whiny brat.

The work of a genius to sum it up. Darth Bane rule of two is a journey into the darkside of the force from the perspective of two siths and a Jedi bent on exposing them. It was masterly crafted ande the action leaves one craving more. I only hope a third installment is in the works, it would be a shame if this series ends here.

This is a sequel to the best Star Wars book of all-time and, since it continues what the other book started, is a total must-read! It is even darker than the first book, and does an excellent job continuing an already-awesome story. Also, let me say that I am very picky and in general don't like most of the Star Wars books. Taking that into consideration, you should absolutely buy this book!

For a Star Wars book I had to give it 4 stars only, for no other reason than the cover art was so cheesy! Darth Bane portrayed as somebody wearing a really bad make-up job at Mardi Gra and Zannah with no eyes. I could barely get past the cover to read the book. Now once I got started reading the book, it is pretty good. Keep in mind I have a full time job and am unable to research every character and species and event in the book in relation to the Star Wars timeline. As noted by previous reviewers there appears to be some technical mistakes made in the plot, but if you are able to get by that, then I think you'll enjoy this book. So if for instance you would know something like - the Zorn Class Star Freighter wasn't developed until after Hans married Princess Leia but Darth Bane shot one down in the battle of Zugar which was 1042 years earlier - then you may not like this book. But if you know the difference between Historical Non-Fiction and Science Fiction I'm sure any Stars Wars fan will enjoy it. :)
