"What will you do without her?"

Loved this a lot. Not too much to say except I just really truly appreciated being able to have a more in depth look at Padmé as a character as well as her handmaidens. It's a story I've been interested since watching the prequels and The Clone Wars so I was just really happy with my experience reading this. The Epilogue hit me like a ton of bricks because I honestly wasn't expecting it. So happy to be reading all these stories about the female characters of Star Wars that may not get a chance to shine in some of the movies or shows. I loved the intimacy of this - it was a completely different tone to Ahsoka which was also written by E. K. Johnston. Makes me excited to pick up Queen's Peril which I think is kind of like a prequel? Honestly this should be made into an entire series, I would absolutely love to hear more about Padmé and her handmaidens.
