5. Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, by Matthew Stover
This is the adult novelization of the movie Revenge of the Sith. The author looks into the minds of the characters and what they are thinking and feeling in the moment, especially for Anakin Skywalker, tracing his fall from Jedi hero to Darth Vader. The book begins and the sections of the book are divided by meditations on the Dark, but ends on a hopeful note, observing that in spite of everything, the Dark's weakness is that it can be pushed back by a single candle -- and that love, the ultimate expression of the Light, is more than a candle. It can light up the stars.
"Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad."
"How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here.”
- Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
