Padmé and Sabé are truly a dynamic duo, and their relationship with the other girls is beautiful. What a powerful team behind this monarch.

Queen's Peril begins with Padmé's election to queen and goes through the end of Episode 1. Despite the at times action-packed plot, I found Queen's Peril a much slower read than Queen's Shadow. There are a ton of handmaidens with similar names to keep track of, which could be very confusing. The additional POVs didn't really add anything for me; I would've preferred to just follow Padmé as she learned how to step into the role of Queen Amidala.

An excellent companion to Padme's side of The Phantom Menace. Gives more substance to her side of the story as well as her relationship with Naboo, her staff, and her handmaidens as a whole.
