The 3rd part of the “Aftermath” trilogy tells the story of the
pivotal Battle of Jakku. There’s a fun mix of political intrigue, space
battles, drama, humor and much more. “Empire’s End” lacks the “wow”
factor of “Life Debt”. It is still a well-told story that keeps the
reader interested. The interludes that Wendig uses are a mixed bag. Some
are sort of neat, like an Interlude featuring a rather polarizing
character from the Prequel Trilogy. Others are interesting, but don’t
seem to really tie in with the story. If they end up being teasers for
upcoming books, then this will be pretty cool. Otherwise, it is a bit of
distraction from what is otherwise a fun story with lots of
well-developed characters that are easy to care about.
