At first, I thought it was a collection of short stories...and in a sense it is sorta like that, but there is a throughline. The stories can be separated by many years, but it tracks the intergration and corruptive influence of the Sith on a island and a planet. This is a long-game view of transfer of power.
Lost Tribe of the Sith - The Collected Stories format shown below, with the corresponding rating.
I - Precipice - 3 Stars
II - Skyborn - 4 Stars
III - Paragon - 4.25 Stars
IV - Savoir - 4.5 Stars
V - Purgatory - 3.5 Stars
VI - Sentinel - 3.75 Stars
VII - Pantheon - 4 Stars
VIII - Secrets - 4.25 Stars
IX - Pandemonium - 4 Stars
The sum was 35.25/9= 3.916 Stars. So I rounded it up to 4.
Eight of the nine sections are about 4-5 chapters long, EXCEPT the last part, which was seventeen chapters long.
I was hoping for a little darker view of this intergration, but there are some dark aspects that bear out...within this book.
I know that I would NOT have wanted/liked to be on the island with the Sith, nor on this planet after they had arrived.
I thought their goal was interesting, and how they went about it intriguing. I need more.

“ The Caretaker Grand Lord was still a revered figure for most, but among the Sith, even a loaf of bread would develop enemies if placed upon a throne.”
p. 303 pandemonium
Love that line, really sums up what being a Sith is like.
This book of collected stories took me forever to get through. I wonder if I had been fed the stories slowly over a period of time I would have felt differently, but my brain was not ready to abandon characters I grew attached to over one story, to find we had moved sometimes 1000 years into the future to a new set of characters. Only in pandemonium, the last collected story, did ALL the stories become cohesive. Due to the abandonment issues and the story being sometimes a tad dull, I would have rated a 1 or 2; however, because pandemonium was phenomenal at tying everything together, it bumped the average to a 3.
The stories were written VERY well and truly added to the lore and knowledge of the Sith (whether this is considered Star Wars canon or not). The information and story were truly amazing, it just takes a while to see all the pieces together, but don’t worry, the pieces do all come together.

The storyline is interesting and cool to read if you're interested in what happened before the Star Wars movies. The writing is a bit messy though and there are a lot of names and changes in time that make it confusing at times.

Eh, this one didn't hit for me. I liked the idea of it, that it followed the impact of the Sith across many years, but it made it hard to connect with each story.
