Reviewed by Raymond<strong>Empires Ending</strong> This was an enjoyable read and filled in some of the blanks between Jedi and Force Awakens. The book pretty much reads like the previous books in the trilogy. Quick descriptions, narrative jumping forward in places and no real reason to root for the main characters. One of the reasons I read the Aftermath Trilogy, well let me be completely honest, the main reason I read the Trilogy was to find out how the Emperial Navy ended up on the surface of Jakku. I was all set for a good long chapter of daring attacks on the Super Star Destroyer Ravager, by the New Republic. The ramming of Star Destroyer against Mon Calimari Cruiser and the locking of tractor beams on all types of hull, New Republic and Emperial alike. I was looking forward to dogfights between TIE and X-Wing, acts of daring do. Sadly no. A big setup and then a damp squib. The battles could have and should have been epic. The political side of things was well represented, again suffering from lack of depth, but the big battle after reading three books should have been more gripping. More exciting. A pity.
