This is a blanket review for all of the Lost Tribe of the Sith stories (1-7 have been published as of this review) since there currently isn't any way to review them as a whole.

All in all, I found this to be one of the most enjoyable facets of the Star Wars universe I have come across in a long time. These books can sorta stand on their own as their own story as the reader could read these without knowing anything else about star wars and not have to worry about missing references or not understanding certain details. The Sith society presented in the stories is less like what I've come to expect from other Sith in Star Wars but seemed more like Drow society as was presented in RA Salvatore's The Dark Elf Trilogy- the people are evil and power hungry but there is some sense of order and rules in their society.

The biggest impression these stories left me with is that they were a nice break from the usual star wars adventure novel. They were more like their own saga due to the fact that story deals with a period of time spanning well over a thousand years and involves numerous main characters who come and go with the passing of time rather that the usual episodic nature that most of the other novels (which deal with individualized conflicts which occur within a much shorter time frame.
