Such a good book!! It gives so much more insight in padmé and her handmaidens lives. It's so cool to get star wars content where the women get complicated personal stories. Something that was lacking in the writing of the movies. Getting more of padmé's story and learning more about sabé and the other handmaidens makes padme's story so much more impactfull. In this book you get to know padme as who she is, not just as a way to move anakins plot along. Padmé has a story of her own. It's complicated and filled with deep personal connections to her family, hee friends and her work in politics, its amazing to read about that!!

at the end of the acknowledgements the author said "every girl who ever asked for more from star wars. You're my spark" This book showed that sentiment very well.
