About this listen
New York Times best-seller.
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away....
When the Emperor and his notorious apprentice, Darth Vader, find themselves stranded in the middle of insurgent action on an inhospitable planet, they must rely on each other, the Force, and their own ruthlessness to prevail.
"It appears things are as you suspected, Lord Vader. We are indeed hunted."
Anakin Skywalker, Jedi Knight, is just a memory. Darth Vader, newly anointed Sith Lord, is ascendant. The Emperor's chosen apprentice has swiftly proven his loyalty to the dark side. Still, the history of the Sith Order is one of duplicity, betrayal, and acolytes violently usurping their Masters - and the truest measure of Vader's allegiance has yet to be taken. Until now.
On Ryloth, a planet crucial to the growing Empire as a source of slave labor and the narcotic known as "spice", an aggressive resistance movement has arisen, led by Cham Syndulla, an idealistic freedom fighter, and Isval, a vengeful former slave. But Emperor Palpatine means to control the embattled world and its precious resources - by political power or firepower - and he will be neither intimidated nor denied. Accompanied by his merciless disciple, Darth Vader, he sets out on a rare personal mission to ensure his will is done.
For Syndulla and Isval, it's the opportunity to strike at the very heart of the ruthless dictatorship sweeping the galaxy. And for the Emperor and Darth Vader, Ryloth becomes more than just a matter of putting down an insurrection: When an ambush sends them crashing to the planet's surface, where inhospitable terrain and an army of resistance fighters await them, they will find their relationship tested as never before. With only their lightsabers, the dark side of the Force, and each other to depend on, the two Sith must decide if the brutal bond they share will make them victorious allies or lethal adversaries.

Great story telling But...
No doubt great story telling, the music, sound effect and narration but as the tittle states Lords of the Sith, the story doesn't really shine on Darth Vader and Palpatine till the very end as I was expecting it to be like the Darth Vader comics. It follows more on a rebellious character up against the empire.
I would still recommend this and worth the purchase but I do advice if you want something more focused on the Sith Lords than this isn't the one

Finally, some recognition of time zones in SciFi
What an interesting perspective. Seeing the Sith point of view is one aspect of the grand narrative that I have wanted for a long time, and now that I can read this book, I had some high expectations.
I very much enjoyed the character development of the Twi'lek peoples and their connection to Rebels. I loved seeing the dynamic between Vader and Palpatine.

Great Performance Misleading Title
I’ve got mixed feelings about Lords of the Sith. First off, I really enjoyed the narrator’s performance they did a great job bringing the characters to life and setting the tone. But for a book literally titled Lords of the Sith, I expected way more focus on Vader and Sidious.
When they are on the page, though? Man, those scenes are intense. Vader and Sidious absolutely carry the story in the limited time they’re actually featured. Their dynamic is powerful, dark, and exactly what you’d want from a Sith focused Star Wars story.
Unfortunately, a good chunk of the book focuses on the Free Ryloth movement, and to be honest, those parts dragged. The pacing slowed down, and I just didn’t find those characters or their storyline compelling enough to hold my attention.
Overall, it felt like a missed opportunity. Vader and Sidious had the potential to make this a truly great novel, but they were barely in it enough. Worth a listen for the Sith scenes alone just be ready to sit through some filler to get to the good stuff.

Misleading
Barely a about Vader or Sidious, mainly about Cham Syndulla, don’t get this book if you want to get a better insight into Vader, offers no real value to the bigger universe either, very disappointing. Story is also fairly disjointed, jumping between characters at awkward times.
