As a PUBLISHED author of 35 years, I encourage you to spend money on ANYTHING else. This is the biggest steaming pile of run -on sentence structure and immature conceptualization that I have seen in years. Chuck is an infant in the writing arena. Please, I beg of you not to spend your hard-earned money on this rubbish. The characterization is minimalistic, the plot is shallow, the writing is infantile, and the overall concept is rushed. Kathy Kennedy and Ruin Johnson have yet another wannabe at the helm right here. Hahaha. If you buy this, you'll be missing your money by the third poorly constructed paragraph. ### ⭐ A Trilogy Declining in Quality as Fast as the Empire Did(or Clear Example of why not to Rush a Writer) *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2017* The series started off good with showing slices of every day life across the galaxy, solid set ups for the galaxy after Endor, and most of the characters were interesting except the main Wexley family, but their faults weren't too monumental till the book's ending that set up Norra's death only to immediately remove the stakes for the rest of the series by bringing her back only few pages later.The second book got much much worse by not only expanding on the least interesting characters(Wexleys), giving the more interesting characters drastic unsubtle character changes(it's not a character arc if it's jagged and comes from nowhere), and above all else failing to capture the voice of the Orige Trige characters that were forced into the story in an attempt to, as the intro said, make our "hearts go a-fluttery".This third one has all of these problems except that he did focus more an the best character in the story villain, turned disavowed, turned angle of vengeance(like I said drastic character changes) Grand Admiral Sloan. He even did an okay job of rapping up the story lines (no matter how small) across the galaxy, but none of this is forgivable when considering the writing of the this book and the series. It is very obvious that this series was rushed in order to fill the void of the collapse of the Old EU. As the books go on the writing gets worse and often having characters "thinking" description of the situation instead of describing what's happening. Setting a book in the most first-person-point-of-view writer can set a story in(the character's thoughts) is perfectly fine in any story that is of the mind, but this was an action affair concerning a galaxy at war. What's worse is that information in these thoughts often repeated what we already knew about the story and characters, and not in a way that even approached being helpful to understand the scene we were currently in.So in summation:Main characters were boring and pettyInteresting characters were malleable and inconsistentFailed to capture the feelings, actions, and voice of the Original CharactersWriting was repetitive and derivative(because of rushed books)And the stakes were terribly low because the characters got out of deadly situations on the regular without thought to being consistent with the universe written or the set up.If you want to read a good Star Wars "War" book, read Alexander Reed's Battle Front Twilight Company. ### ⭐⭐⭐ A good end to the Aftermath trilogy, but still not a great overall story *by M***. on Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2018* This is the final entry in the Aftermath series, which told the events of the fight against the Empire, with very little input from the main characters of the original trilogy. Norra and her crew along with Sloane continue to be the focus of the book, then he continues jumping to other characters in the interlude chapters.This book really tells the beginnings of the first order. Told within a contingency plan put in place by Palpatine years ago, involving the planet Jakuu (which of course is where Rey is found in The Force Awakens) to be implemented should the Empire fall. Most of the action, and what in my opinion is the best part of the book is in the last 1/3 or so of it. The main issue I have with the book is the same as I have had with the other two novels, the main characters (especially Luke) are mostly absent in this book. Han and Leia are really the only ones that appear, and while they have a larger role in this book than the others, they are really just mixed in. It just seems at the time when this story was set, all of them would be much more active in trying to defeat what remains of the Empire. The novels that are now relegated to the expanded universe which were set post Return of the Jedi did a much better job with the characters and showed you could bring other characters into the story without giving short shrift to Han, Luke, and Leia.The book is a fairly easy read, checking in at 430 pages. It certainly does provide clues, and even introduces characters who will be a large focus in the new trilogy, such as a young Hux, (a strongly hinted at appearance by a young Phasma), and hinting at Snoke's presence in the Unknown Region of the galaxy. There are still a lot of stories to be told in the intervening 30 years, specifically how Snoke ultimately comes to power and takes over The First Order. Stories about what exactly Luke ended up doing after the battle of Endor and his attempt to train a new generation of Jedi will also eventually need to be told. This book does wrap up the storylines for Norra, Sinjir, Snap, Sloane, and Jas, but certainly leaves open the possibility of future stories for some of them down the lineUltimately I think the book, and the Aftermath series overall, is okay, but not great. It is possible that the overall story and what characters could and could not be used may have been dictated to the author. Whoever made the choice not to include more of the main characters in the story made a bad decision. I do like that Lando got a chapter near the end of this book, and very much disliked that we needed an update on Jar Jar Binks early on in the book. Thankfully the latter did not last longer than it did. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/39221606-empires-end-aftermath-star-wars-star-wars-the-aftermath-trilogy](https://www.desertcart.at/products/39221606-empires-end-aftermath-star-wars-star-wars-the-aftermath-trilogy) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
