informative
- Strong character development? Yes

I really enjoyed getting to see more of the political side of Star Wars (if that’s possible with a story that’s already so political 😅). Although it’s touched upon in other Star Wars media, the inner workings of the Senate were the main focus of this book.
Not that I think many people would be reading this without watching Star Wars, I would definitely recommend having watched the prequels and The Clone Wars prior to reading this book. There are a lot of little nods to them that won’t make much sense without that background knowledge.
I also really enjoyed getting to learn more about Padme’s handmaidens. They loved her so much and seeing that love makes her death hurt that much more in ROTS.
