I didn’t enjoy this as much as Queen’s Shadow, but I think that’s mainly because the setting was less interesting to me.
I re-watched The Phantom Menace (my least favourite of the prequel trilogy!) to put the story in context and that was a good decision. It helped things fall into place. I liked learning the backstories for each handmaiden.

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.
