4.0

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.
