Savior (Star Wars: Lost Tribe of the Sith, #4)
by John Jackson Miller (Goodreads Author)

Savior doesn't build off the momentum that was created with Paragon. While each entry up to this point featured a new main character, Savior ignores this practice and just bounces back and forth between its previous stars. It makes the book feel disjointed and really drags down what could have been an otherwise enjoyable story. The ending is also anticlimactic.
I think the biggest problem with the series as a whole is its format. It would have been much better overall if it was all one book. In fact, it feels like the entries that make up The Lost Tribe of the Sith were meant to be one book at some time. Precipice is the setup, Skyborn is the exposition, Paragon is the rising action, and Savior is the climax/conclusion.
Since the series is separated into multiple parts, expectations change. Each entry is expected to deliver a full and complete experience. Due to the way they're divided up, reviewing them feels like reviewing individual chapters of a story but with the same standards you would have for a whole and complete book. It just doesn't work.
The Lost Tribe of the Sith wasn't great, or even very good much of the time, but I don't feel regret for reading them. Each entry had fun moments and their short length kept me from getting bored. For what they are, any big Star Wars fan should get a bit of enjoyment from the series.
