About this listen

 He was the most powerful Sith lord who ever lived.
But could he be the only one who never died?

“Did you ever hear the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise? It’s a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise that he could use the Force to influence the midi-chlorians to create life. He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying.”
—Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith

Darth Plagueis: one of the most brilliant Sith Lords who ever lived. Possessing power is all he desires. Losing it is the only thing he fears. As an apprentice, he embraces the ruthless ways of the Sith. And when the time is right, he destroys his Master—but vows never to suffer the same fate. For like no other disciple of the dark side, Darth Plagueis learns to command the ultimate power . . . over life and death.

Darth Sidious: Plagueis’s chosen apprentice. Under the guidance of his Master, he secretly studies the ways of the Sith, while publicly rising to power in the galactic government, first as Senator, then as Chancellor, and eventually as Emperor.

Darth Plagueis and Darth Sidious, Master and acolyte, target the galaxy for domination—and the Jedi Order for annihilation. But can they defy the merciless Sith tradition? Or will the desire of one to rule supreme, and the dream of the other to live forever, sow the seeds of their destruction? Adventure Fantasy Science Fiction Space Opera

I like the viewpoint of the force in this book, it shows a great lot about Sidious, the Sith, and some of the events of the Phantom Menace. The narrator was clear and sharp and it fulfills the tone of the story perfectly. I particularly liked the voicing for Darth Plagueis. The voice acting for Sidious was a bit lacking and a tad bit high pitched.

Performance feels right for the tone of the story it is very clear calm. Dialogue and Story were great.

The reading performances were stupendous taking you to a different world. I listened to this book while reading and enjoyed it even more. This is a must read for any Star Wars fan and lays out the base to the 9 movies. Great to hear the story from a Sith perspective

A must for every Star Wars fan

As others have pointed out, a great way to understand the plans and motivations and ruthlessness of Emperor Palpatine. The book is long though and occasionally slows down way too much. Still a good way to go deeper into the star wars stories, and makes the Episode I to Episode III movies and audible books even better.

Insightful
