... the urgent pursuit of a high-stakes goal?

Leviathan Wakes by James S. A. Corey

If you loved how Norra Wexley and her crew relentlessly pursued their objective in Empire's End, you'll be thrilled by the breakneck mission at the heart of Leviathan Wakes. James Holden and Detective Miller are drawn together by a mysterious disappearance, unwinding secrets that threaten the solar system. The clear, escalating drive of their quest keeps the tension high and the pages turning.

... a complex ensemble of characters, each bringing unique perspectives?

Ninefox Gambit by Yoon Ha Lee

If the shifting alliances and varied personalities of Norra's team in Empire's End drew you in, you'll find Ninefox Gambit just as captivating. Kel Cheris, the brilliant but outcast captain, must work with the infamous undead tactician Shuos Jedao and a diverse cast of soldiers and schemers. The interplay between their motives and skills creates a dynamic, unpredictable group dynamic.

... characters evolving and confronting their flaws?

The Exiled Queen by Cinda Williams Chima

If you appreciated the personal journeys and growth—like Norra reckoning with her leadership and Temmin's struggle with loyalty—in Empire's End, you'll enjoy The Exiled Queen. Han and Raisa are forced into exile, growing in courage and maturity as they navigate political intrigue and their own complicated pasts.

... heroes who tread the line between right and wrong?

Red Rising by Pierce Brown

If you were fascinated by the shades-of-gray morality—characters making hard, sometimes questionable choices for the greater good—in Empire's End, then Red Rising is a perfect follow-up. Darrow infiltrates a brutal caste system, constantly forced to compromise his ideals for survival and revolution, embodying the complexity of true anti-heroes.

... a sprawling story with interstellar stakes and vast worldbuilding?

Dune by Frank Herbert

If the galactic scale and the sense of a universe in upheaval in Empire's End left you wanting more, you’ll be swept away by Dune. Follow Paul Atreides as he’s swept up in dynastic conflict, planetary politics, and the fate of an entire desert world—set against an epic backdrop with far-reaching consequences.
