It's an incredible book.
Too bad Disney wiped it out of canon.

Yup, I love the novel, especially with the Palpatine final seduction of Anakin to the Dark Side that started with the question of "What do you want?" By that time Anakin was so conflicted about things.
I mean earlier Palpatine asked Anakin the question after Anakin revealed his fears of Padme dying "Who do you love more Obi-wan or Padme? You need to decide"
if you read the ROTS novel, you really need to read Labyrinth of Evil, and Dark Lord the Rise of Darth Vader.
The Dark Lord novel is exceptional, and starts with Vader very much like what we saw in the Obi-Wan novel. Very much just a really angry resentful guilty Anakin in the mask. But by the end he's absolutely terrifying and Anakin is completely gone.
Instead of Vader in the end being a rage machine like Disney wants us to believe. He's utterly Cold.
