网友对Book of Sith: Secrets from the Dark Side的评论
因为是不同的文献合集 所以书侧面看是好几种不同的纹样花边ˊ_>ˋ 设计挺中二的 除了各种西斯笔记之外 还有卢克和尤达大师的笔记
这本书的设定是西斯的各种残余文献的收集，非常有意思，各个角色的批注特别有意思
I ordered the Jedi Path and Book of Sith as a pre-order bundle. They arrived yesterday (4/22/13) and I read them both that evening. I enjoyed both books, but the Book of Sith is the superior of the two.
The book is broken up into several sections; each section has a different page format, making it truly look like a compendium of different books. The book itself is about the size of a standard journal. The cover is made from red leather, which is a step up from the canvas cover of The Jedi Path.
After an introduction by Darth Sidious, we begin with the journal of Sorzus Syn, one of the original Dark Lords of the Sith whom was banished by the Jedi following the Hundred-Year Darkness who provides her own history, the history of the Sith species (known as Sith Purebloods) and the make-up of the Sith Empire at that time. Next comes a field journal written by Darth Malgus (from the Old Republic MMO), which goes into Malgus's disgust of the Sith Empire's self-serving bureaucracy, which dovetails nicely into ... Darth Bane (my favorite Sith Lord) who instituted the Rule of Two after the fall of the Brotherhood of Darkness (the incarnation of the Sith Empire during his era). Even if you've read the Darth Bane novel trilogy, this section presents a fresh first-person perspective from the man himself.
Mother Talzin's section is the low-point of the book. Sidious explains including this section even though the Nightsisters are obviously not Sith because their insights are worth preserving, but both the content and the artwork in this section are the worst of the book. The artwork is made up of mostly of photo shopped cosplayers dressed up as Nightsisters (and Nightbrothers) photo shopped to give them force abilities. There is also a section about the deities the Nightsisters worship known as the "Winged Goddess" and the "Fanged God", who are in reality the "Brother" and "Sister" from the Mortis arc in the Clone Wars series. Didn't Anakin murder them? If he murdered the Nightsister's gods why didn't they notice? Also, there's no mention of the "Father" from Mortis in the Nightsister's pantheon, which is odd because they make a point of noting that they believe in balance, and not just "the darkside". It's not all bad. Talzin goes into the history and abilities associated with the Nightsisters, as well as the Nightsister's views on other darkside traditions. It's decent, but definitely, the section that held this book back from being perfect.
Darth Plagueis's handwritten research notes/journal make up the next section. The section is fascinating, and goes into Plagueis's theories about creating life, and immortality. Within the context of the Star Wars universe, his theories make perfect sense. Lastly, Darth Sidious closes his volume with his own section, which itself is split into three chapters: The Weakness of Inferiors, The Book of Anger, and The Manipulation of Life (later re-named The Creation of Monsters). The version in this volume is rather short compared to what you'd expect, but Sidious explains that this version was an early draft.
The common thread throughout the compilation is the prophecy of the Sith'ari, the perfect Sith. Notably, each Sith author believes himself to be the Sith'ari for reasons that made sense within that Sith Lord's era. Sidious notes that Plagueis believed that Darth Bane was the actual Sith'ari, but in his notes, he even entertains the notion that it might truly be him. Since the Sith philosophy is all about self-improvement, the ideal of the Sith'ari is obviously something that the most powerful Sith sought to reach. It gives the book a sense of theme and structure that such a collection of different works might otherwise lack.
In closing, I found this book very entertaining, but it was very short. Some people may object to paying nearly $20 for such a short book, but when you consider the production value, it's worth it in my opinion.
I bought this as a gift for a friend, and now that I have it in my hands I know that I made the right choice: He's going to love it.
The book is in perfect state and it the delivery was as expected.
In what comes to the content, I looked inside and I was delighted by how it is presented and all the sidenotes that includes. It really makes you think that it is a compiled codex of a sith (one nice detail is how the pages are different in shape, which makes the concept of codex more believable).
However, I am a great fan of Star Wars yet not one of those who knows everything in the SW universe, and I feel like this book is like a sort of physical wiki about the sith story. But if you are a hardcore fan, you'll love it anyway.
This is an amazing introduction to the Sith. A "compiled" book from sources as early as 6900 BBY (Before the Battle of Yavin, the destruction of the first Death Star), the dawn of the Sith Order. The book gives first person accounts of many of the most famous and influential Dark Side Force users throughout Galactic history. This is not really new material, though it is much more convenient than reading all of the original stories these legends come from. I would still highly recommend the Bane trilogy and Plagueis for a more complete story. Although this is no longer considered "cannon" parts of it still could be. The chapter "written" by Mother Talzin may still be as it concerns the Clone Wars cartoon. Until reading this, you may not know the power of the Dark Side!
It's a very good book. I've only skimmed through since it arrive and can tell it's good. It's packed with a bunch of information.
This is composed of several separate books and the pages change from book to book. Like some pages will have a torn tattered look to them, or graph paper, a journal type pager.
The side notes are very interesting to read. It's also interesting to compare the writing style and writing voice of Vader vs Anakin's from notes found in the Jedi Path.
I was surprised to see a few notes by Mace and Quinlin Vos. But Luke by far makes the most notes with Sidious in close second.
I'm very excited to read this. I find the Dark Side to be more interesting.
I learned this book normally cost $20. I think I bought this for less than 10. :3
