Summary
Twenty years have passed since Darth Bane, reigning Dark Lord of the Sith, demolished the ancient order devoted to the dark side and reinvented it as a circle of two: one Master to wield the power and pass on the wisdom, and one apprentice to learn, challenge, and ultimately usurp the Dark Lord in a duel to the death. But Bane’s acolyte, Zannah, has yet to engage her Master in mortal combat and prove herself a worthy successor. Determined that the Sith dream of galactic domination will not die with him, Bane vows to learn the secret of a forgotten Dark Lord that will assure the Sith’s immortality - and his own.
A perfect opportunity arises when a Jedi emissary is assassinated on the troubled mining planet Doan, giving Bane an excuse to dispatch his apprentice on a fact-finding mission - while he himself sets out in secret to capture the ancient holocron of Darth Andeddu and its precious knowledge. But Zannah is no fool. She knows that her ruthless Master has begun to doubt her, and she senses that he is hiding something crucial to her future. If she is going to claim the power she craves, she must take action now.
While Bane storms the remote stronghold of a fanatical Sith cult, Zannah prepares for her Master’s downfall by choosing an apprentice of her own: a rogue Jedi cunning and cold-blooded enough to embrace the Sith way and to stand beside her when she at last wrests from Bane the mantle of Dark Lord of the Sith.
But Zannah is not the only one with the desire and power to destroy Darth Bane. Princess Serra of the Doan royal family is haunted by memories of the monstrous Sith soldier who murdered her father and tortured her when she was a child. Bent on retribution, she hires a merciless assassin to find her tormentor - and bring him back alive to taste her wrath.
Only a Sith who has taken down her own Master can become Dark Lord of the Sith. So when Bane suddenly vanishes, Zannah must find him - possibly even rescue him - before she can kill him. And so she pursues her quarry from the grim depths of a ravaged world on the brink of catastrophe to the barren reaches of a desert outpost, where the future of the dark side’s most powerful disciples will be decided, once and for all, by the final, fatal stroke of a lightsaber.

Brilliant end to a brilliant trilogy
Fantastic final chapter in the Bane trilogy. Story telling and characterisation that leaves you wanting more. The performance was very good. This is a must for any Star Wars fans. Karpyshyn is a master in showing Starwars doesn’t need the Skywalkers to be gripping

A ending to a trilogy of Darth Bane
For those who wish to learn about how the rule of two was created look no farther then the trilogy of Darth bane.
Drew Karpyshyn captured the essence of the old republic as well as the inner thoughts of Bane on his journey to the dark side.
I Reccomend this and the previous two books to anyone who loves star wars.

The performance was amazing, the story has some moments and connections that require you to believe in the saying "The force works in mysterious ways" to make sense.
"Oh yeah it's all coming together" - Bane 980BBY (probably)

Thrilling!
I'm new to Star Wars novels but a die hard fan of fantasy & Sci Fi. I'm very aware of how difficult it is to write credible plots, twists, surprises and decent stories. Motives are not always clear and things tend to become muddled in bad books.
Characters are not easy to craft and I'm hard to impress after being exposed to San Dan Glokta in The First Law series.There are a great many disappointing books in the world but this isn't one of them.
I won't go into spoilers... this book was an experiment as I sought to be entertained by writers that I didn't know in a franchise that had over 60 books vying for my attention. I will say that Dynasty of Evil is imaginative, expansive and beautifully diverse. There are several well detailed characters and I actually understood their motives (which is a very common gripe of mine....) and development arcs. These people did things I understood. They failed to do things that were daft or sincerely misguided. If mistakes were made... they were recognisably plausible. I liked that. It was plausible which (if I'm honest) is very rare when I look for a good story.
Don't you just hate it when seemingly intelligent, likeable characters do ridiculous things to ignite a plot?
Buy this book. It deserves to be enjoyed.

A wonderful end to a fantastic trilogy.
absolutely stunning from sound to atmosphere. wish it could have been abit longer as the end did seem rushed but all in all it's a great way to end the Darth Bane trilogy.

The finale of Bane
Whilst path of destruction was firmly the best of the Bane trilogy , Dynasty of evil is a fantastic climax to the series and was narrated excellently by Johnathan davies. I also highly enjoyed the somewhat ‘open to interpretation’ ending after the battle of Bane and Zannah was complete.
