The further I get into this series, the more interesting it gets and the more I like it.
I like the fact that there are twists in this series as well, it keeps me from getting bored where I otherwise would be. It was interesting having this book follow Seelah and it brought her character into a new light, especially as at first she was presented as a spoilt, childish woman.

Star Wars: Lost Tribe of the Sith #3: Paragon, by John Jackson Miller
Finally, there's some action in this ebook series! Lost Tribe of the Sith is a series to provide back story for the new Fate of the Jedi books. "Paragon" is the third installment.
All Star Wars fans know that if you leave two Sith in a room only one Sith is going to come out. The same is true of the crashed Sith on Kesh - their numbers are slowly dwindling, cut down by mainly by sabotage.

So Siths being Sith devised a plot to wipe out the native Kesh population but only to have the plan backfired and used by another person to get rid of the non-human Sith. At the same time Adari is beginning to see the true nature of the Siths and is planning a way...more

Things are heating up in this series. Until now, it seems like John Jackson Miller was kind of setting the scenario, but now we're starting to get a little more conflict, which is what Star Wars is really all about.
The writing is solid, but sometimes the actions of the characters or their motivations are a little difficult to understand. It could be because I was reading it really quickly, but I would imagine it is due more to the format: short e-books don't lend themselves well to deepening the...more

Il y a maintenant 15 ans que les Sith sont sur la planète Kesh. Il y exercent leur domination depuis ce temps. Malheureusement, une étrange maladie commence à décimer la population native de la planète. L'inquiétude des Sith apparait lorsque les leurs commencent aussi à mourir.
Voilà une courte histoire intéressante. Ce n'est pas ce qui s'est fait de mieux de Star Wars mais lorsque c'est donné, pourquoi trop s'en plaindre. Comme les deux précédents tomes, les ebooks sont disponibles gratuitement.

I'm a bit torn about my feelings about this series. On one hand, I relish the thought of reading new adventures set in the Star Wars universe. However, I really don't find any of the characters interesting and find that the humanized version of the Sith are paltry replacements for the likes of Darth Maul, Darth Bane, Darth Sidious, and their ilk. Truth be told, I like my Sith Lords wicked, ruthless, and downright EVIL!

The continuing saga of the Sith stranded on a foreign world, this part of the story jumps ahead 15 years and things have gotten very interesting. the main characters are now plotting against each other through power plays and manipulations. There is one surprise player here though that wants to get rid of the Sith and they don't even suspect her. This series is getting more interesting and t=the stories are in short excerpts. Great story if you like old star wars before Luke Skywalker and Darth...more
This is back to being on the same level as the first one was, I found it interesting but not all that great. It took me a second to realize the time skip at the beginning so I was a tad confused, but then after that it became kind of tedious. It also moves to slow in some areas and then too fast in others. I do with that they had more substance so that the characters could be more relate-able. It was interesting reading about Naga Sadow and such though.
Similar to Skyborn, Paragon starts off with some pretty stationary filler however after the first 2 chapters, things start happening. The suspense continues to build nicely and has turned this series into a bit of a suspense thriller that is getting harder to put down. The storyline does seem to be a bit too simple for a Star Wars piece. At times I do miss some of the complexity that occurs in some of the other stories. Still worth reading though.
This book picks up the pace again as you start to see the plans within cunning plans that are characteristic of the Sith. Each has their own ideas of living on the planet Kesh as welk as their own ambitions. We are able to see the result of the struggles here and a glimpse into future plans of this new Sith place.
This was more a tense read than an exciting one, as it promises more self serving machinations to be read in the next story.

I'm not even sure what to say about this. I could guess what was going to happen, but the story was still told well enough that I didn't mind. It's almost painful reading this though...reading about the terrible things the Sith do. But I guess that's something I have to get used to if i'm going to be reading this series now. I guess the hard thing about this story arch is that there are no good guys. No Jedi to make the world right. No big battle of good vs evil. Just evil.
Plot: The plot in this one was much more intense. It kept me more interested than the past ones, but I still felt like it was too short.
Characters: The characters didn't change much from the past books.
Setting: The place they are at is the same, but they did move around a little and reconstructed their buildings.
Overall: I feel like this series is being hurriedly put together. I don't dislike it, and I do plan on finishing it, but I wish the stories from book to book flowed together better.

These ebooks are getting slightly better. That is mostly because they are building off the first two so it finally feels like there is some consistency in what is happening. Still, each one is so short that you can't feel that involved in the characters and time moves very quickly in the series so there isn't that much time to get attached to anyone. But at least some things started happening in this one.

Actually liked this one quite a bit. Imagine a whole society based on the treachery of the Sith of Star Wars. And I do mean treachery. Plans within plans within plans. The plot actually got very interesting in this one. It's too bad it took two books to get to this point. Keep on keepin on with them. It's actually worth it so keep on reading.
It is 15 years after the ship Omen crashed on a remote world and the Sith are still struggling to find a way home. Suddenly, whole villages are dying off without any apparent reason. Are they they dying from natural causes or is someone responsible?

I would say - you can add up all "The lost Tribe of the Sith" books to the length of a real book.
After every book (4 Chapter) is a sneakpeak for other StarWars Books, that is about 1/4 of the lenght of the tribe book. So I have the feeling these are mainly advertiser books for the other ones!

15 years after the Sith spaceship, Omen, has crashed on the planet Kesh. Yaru Korsin, the Sith commander, has established his people on the planet but a faction within the Sith are restless to try to leave for space. Meanwhile cities and native populations succumb to a unknown plague.
The books seem to be getting a bit better, but I'm still having a hard time reading them because they're so choppy. Also, I seem to get to an interesting part and suddenly it's done. It's like the focus is on the "small stuff" rather than on the real action.

Paragon, I must admit, impressed me. While very little happened in the first two entries of this series, this one actually had a lot going on. There are a couple of twists and a cliffhanger ending that has me excited to read the conclusion. I didn't even mind the main character switching again, as following Seelah actually made her an enjoyable character. It's made me excited to see who the main character of the conclusion will be.

Fun read, though slightly difficult to get into. None of these are really books, they don't have endings, they just stop and you have to read the next installment to carry on.
Best one of the series yet. Still a little confused as to what's going on. The point of view can very difficult to follow. But still a pretty interesting read. Looking forward to reading the next one.
This story seems has some interesting plot twists with characters deceiving each other and turning on each other. A cliffhanger at the end has excited me for the next one.
Engaging short story. Part of a series that I was slow to get into, but now enjoy very much.
Very interesting concept with a lot of possibilities.

This series is taking a turn for the better. The Sith are finally acting like Sith. Now we just need a Jedi to come in and make things right.
This series is improving as it moves along. This third volume, Paragon, adds a characteristic Sith touch to the story, as well as yet another POV from a different character, the widow Seelah. By now, the Omen has been marooned on Kesh for 15 years, but the Sith are still hoping to get off the planet. During this time, many changes have come to the native Keshiri, some good, some not.

blah. An epic battle between dark Jedi and red Sith? should be awesome but the writer gets cold feet and glosses over it.
Another short story. The Sith try to survive 15 years after they have crashed. Beng Sith they do not get along. A decent read.
A twist revealed! Really like how Sith are portrayed in this series so far.
Eh. Getting a little more interesting as the series progresses.
