dangermousieLong reaction still coming later, but for now, a non-spoilery quote from the beginning of the novel:
"The dragon reminds him, every night, of how he held his dying mother in his arms, of how she spent her last strength to say I knew you would come for me, Anakin... The dragon reminds him, every night, that someday he will lose Obi-Wan. He will lose Padme. Or they will lose him...
If anyone can save Palpatine, Anakin will. Because he is already the best, and he's still getting better. But locked away behind the walls of his heart, the dragon that is his fear coils and squirms and hisses. Because his real fear, in a universe where even stars can die, is that being the best will never be quite good enough."
Anakin Skywalker? Meet Lord Vader. *gulp*
