- Star Wars novels set just after Return of the Jedi, following a new group of rebels as the Empire collapses, and bridging towards the era of The Force Awakens.
- Chuck Wendig’s present-tense style and frequent interludes divided readers, and Aftermath rates low here.
- Read in order: Aftermath, Life Debt, Empire’s End; fans of the films’ era may find the later books more rewarding.
