Publisher's Summary
New York Times best seller
Following Star Wars: Aftermath and Star Wars: Life Debt, Chuck Wendig delivers the exhilarating conclusion to the New York Times best-selling trilogy set in the years between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens.
Every end is a new beginning.
As the final showdown between the New Republic and the Empire draws near, all eyes turn to a once-isolated planet: Jakku.
The Battle of Endor shattered the Empire, scattering its remaining forces across the galaxy. But the months following the Rebellion’s victory have not been easy. The fledgling New Republic has suffered a devastating attack from the Imperial remnant, forcing the new democracy to escalate its hunt for the hidden enemy. For her role in the deadly ambush, Grand Admiral Rae Sloane is the most wanted Imperial war criminal - and onetime rebel pilot Norra Wexley, back in service at Leia’s urgent request, is leading the hunt. But more than just loyalty to the New Republic drives Norra forward: Her husband was turned into a murderous pawn in Sloane’s assassination plot, and now she wants vengeance as much as justice.
Sloane, too, is on a furious quest: pursuing the treacherous Gallius Rax to the barren planet Jakku. As the true mastermind behind the Empire’s devastating attack, Rax has led the Empire to its defining moment. The cunning strategist has gathered the powerful remnants of the Empire’s war machine, preparing to execute the late Emperor Palpatine’s final plan. As the Imperial fleet orbits Jakku, an armada of Republic fighters closes in to finish what began at Endor. Norra and her crew soar into the heart of an apocalyptic clash that will leave land and sky alike scorched. And the future of the galaxy will finally be decided.

What an ending…
What an ending to the Aftermath Trilogy. I loved this. There were so many Easter eggs and links with other books and moments of Star Wars history. Unfortunately, a significant plot point in this book was spoiled; however, it didn’t change how I felt about it. I was genuinely surprised how sad I was when Bones died/was destroyed.
Once again, the premise of ROS is blatantly stated as the overall plan for the Empire, even if Rax is set to burn the Empire to the ground.
Overall, it’s a great book and a great conclusion to the Aftermath Trilogy. Once again, my biggest issue with the series is the use of interludes; most are jarring and don’t add to the overall picture of the book. But as a whole, the series is excellent, and by far Empire’s End is the best.
