A review by siobhanaisling
Queen's Shadow by E.K. Johnston

5.0

This isn’t a book about big blockbuster style events, this is some sweet, sweet Star Wars back story and I am so here for it.

You never really grasp the connection Padme has with her handmaidens in The Phantom Menace, or the gravity of certain events in Attack of the Clones but now I do.

And boy Queens Shadow made me have so many feelings about characters you barely see in the movies. The handmaidens that are explored further in this book I have come to love and I’m going to have such a great time watching the prequels again and understanding Padme, the handmaidens, Naboos monarchy system and the senate even more.

If you love Padme this is the book for you. I didn’t dream that I would be able to love her more, but here I am.
