Since then I've gone on to the Old Republic star wars novels as well as the Mass Effect novels, and this I must say is truly the best out of those that I have read, surpassing even the second Mass Effect novel, with an excellent written tale of the Old Republic, recovering from war, with the main characters lurking in the shadows, building their power and knowledge, all while preserving the ever-known 'rule of two', as the only pair of true sith left in the galaxy, they bide their time and gather their power, leading to a number of revelations, and with a fantastic ending that had me suprised at its audacity and laughing at the dark irony of it all.

Truly, I have been skeptical of Drew Karpshyn in the past. The first novel of his I read was the first Mass Effect book, and I felt that was acceptable, but not a great read.

Either way, the Rule of Two is a fantastic read in an expanding series of Star Wars novels, a magnificent sequel to the marvellous Path of Destruction and which now leaves me looking forward to the third book in this action-packed and beautifully designed series.
