Star Wars: The Old Republic: Deceived Book

This guy below looks familiar doesn't he? Darth Vader without a hat? Nope - it is ancient Sith Lord Darth Malgus. I am guessing they made him look this way as an indication that the Empire has a specific format for the life support outfits they give their Dark Lords when they are critically injured:



Deceived introduces us to Malgus and one of the major early attempts of the Sith to destroy the Jedi. And, based on what I read, the universe of Star Wars was only a few swings of a lightsaber away from having no Jedi left way before we got to the more recent canon stories!

3.5 Stars

I liked it, but I was not particularly riveted by it. I think it was a very interesting history of the Sith, Jedi, and the planet Coruscant. Because of this I am very glad I read it. It also feels like it is setting up some future events, and that is pretty cool as well. Seems like it may be more of a book for the Star Wars completest (which is what I am going for) and not necessarily the casual fan.

So, hardcore Star Wars fans - go for it! People who have seen a couple of movies but think it might be cool to check out some Star Wars literature - proceed with caution.

And, as some of you may have seen - I read this on Kindle and it finished at 66%! So, if you are reading Star Wars books on Kindle, be prepared for a lot of extras at the end that are not part of the book!
