Review:
To say that this story is absolutely massive is something of understatement, likewise is it an understatement to say that, no matter how long it takes to read it, it's well worth the time and effort. Beginning in Luke's pre-adolescent years, wherein Owen and Beru Lars are murdered by a mysterious stranger, the Force Bond series re-writes the circumstances in which Vader and Luke learn that they are father and son and begins their journey to learning what it's truly like to be a family.

Anyone whose delved into the Star Wars fandom knows that there are a plethora of father/son stories, many of them excellent. This story is no exception. The fact that characterization, Vader's especially, isn't sacrificed but is slowly (and believably) transformed from Sith Lord (he doesn't suddenly stop being Sith; he still commits horrendous acts, even with his son in his care) into, well, a Sith Lord with a son he tries his best to shelter and love is one of the things that make this series stand out for me.

Even with their relationship in the foreground, there is plenty of adventure, action, and mystery involved in this massive series. I wouldn't, however, suggest reading this all in one go unless you have a couple of days set aside to just enjoy.
