Synopsis:
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 their hunt for the
hidden enemy. For her role in the deadly ambush,
Grand Admiral Rae Sloane is the most wanted Imperial war
criminal—and one-time 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. But 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.

Review by Darth Kondorr, Poland,
2017: |
 |
I liked
the individual books more, than I liked them as a trilogy. Might
sound strange, but each book is a 4 in 5 for me, but the whole is
just a 3 in 5. The reason is, that I really got to like the new
characters, they all were interesting and engaging, I liked their
arcs in each book, but also spread across all three. What I did not
really like is the overarching scheme, the overall arc, the plot
divided across all three books. It was not bad, it just was a lot of
fuss about something rather not thrilling. When the chips were
down I was really disappointed thinking: That it all amounted to
just THIS? The third book is as the two before it, neither better,
nor worse. It is exciting, but when both sides of the conflict have
a mutual goal, then no matter the outcome of said conflict, the end
result will be kind off the same. At least we have some info
bridging “Return of the Jedi” to “The Force Awakens” but I doubt we
needed to have three books to tell this story. The first one, truly
was barely the prelude and although way better than its reputation I
understand people being frustrated with it.
