unspeakablehorrorThe Darth Bane series is giving me lots of ideas for things to incorporate into Heart of Shadow, both on a history and world details level and on a narrative level.
One thing I enjoy about the Darth Bane series is that it has a lot of tense high stakes scenes for the characters, but also has downtime scenes where we get to see character development. I obviously did really enjoy the Darth Plagueis novel itself, and my favorite characters are in that novel, but the Darth Bane trilogy shows what's possible to do with a period of time and characters that are not fleshed out by any canon materials. In my case, I have an easier task regarding the characters and the time period, but I will be introducing some new characters and obviously the events of the story will cause this AU time period to diverge wildly from the one shown in the canon, which obviously presents its own challenges.
