The only book I finished this month was Empire's End, the third volume in the Star Wars: Aftermath trilogy. It was a little disappointing after the high-tension end of Life Debt, the second book. It was a conclusion, and it features Jakku, and explains why Jakku is littered with Star Destroyers and other crashed ships. There was a moment which made me recoil a little, that felt less like Star Wars and more like Transformers, when a droid manages to reassemble itself, but given the reactions from Star Wars haters, I wanted to resist even that. The book is fine, I guess, and I really like the fact that it's in the Star Wars world but doesn't use the major Star Wars characters so much -- Han and Leia are key, and Mon Mothma and Mas Amadda are there, but it's really about Temmin, Nora, Sinjir and Jas. It makes me want to read more Star Wars, but it's still not as thick as the other science fiction I'm about to bite into.
