I love Orson Scott Card -- his Alvin Maker series, The Call of Earth series, the Ender series are all great and worth rereading.

Empire is not only NOT worth rereading, it's not even worth reading the FIRST time!

A contrived plot, multiple plot holes, unsympthetic characters, unsatisfactory resolution all make this his worst book. Take a pass.
