Finished reading Star Wars: Darth Vader: Shadows and Secrets, this continues the series as Darth Vader continues to look for the truth about Luke Skywalker, while still doing missions for the Empire. The book opens up with Vader joined by Aphra and her droids on Tatooine to learn about Luke Skywalker. Vader is then tasked to lead a group of Stormtroopers on the planet Son-Tuul were they find a large vault full of credits and put it on to an imperial transport. Meanwhile on the other side of the planet Aphra and a group of bounty hunters devise a plan to steal under the orders of Vader himself. Later Vader is debriefed by Grand General Tagge as General Karbin is assigned to find Luke Skywalker while the cybernetic enhanced twins are tasked to find a small Rebel group called the Plasma Devils. Finally Vader is joined by Inspector Thanoth on his mission to find the people who stole the credits from the imperial transport as Vader secretly takes Aphra to find more information about Luke Skywalker. Overall this was an amazing book as writer Kieron Gillen continues with the series by diving into the background of new characters and the many situations the characters get into. The character development throughout the book is amazing as Alpra's background gets fleshed out in an incredibly compelling way that the art even shows the emotional impact it had on her with the way it conveys her body language and movements. While new characters like Inspector Thanoth are an instant hit thanks to how he interacts with Vader and to criminals showing that he has lots of experience. Additionally the artist Salvador Larroca is amazing as his work looks cinematic with how characters emotions are brought across along with the action scene with Stormtroopers and Darth Varder's fighting style. 9/10.
