Sith philosophy is so interesting to me. Why be a Sith? What do they believe? Like its companion book, The Jedi Path, Book of Sith clarifies a lot of details that are ambigious or glossed over in other Star Wars media. Fascinating for a hardcore fan, but probably not terribly interesting to more casual folks. My one complaint is that I wish there was more commentary across the whole text, like in the companion book - but I understand that would've been difficult to do from an in-universe perspective.

Just like the Jedi book, The Book of the Sith is just as entertaining and informational. This actually helped me understand Darth Sidious more and why the Sith are the way they are. Knowledge of the six films is enough to enjoy this book; you don't need to read up on the other Star Wars novels and shows in fear of missing out on anything.
