Written by the 1 New York Times best-selling author of Ahsoka When Padme Naberrie, "Queen Amidala" of Naboo, steps down from her position, she is asked by the newly-elected queen to become Naboo's representative in the Galactic Senate. Padme is unsure about taking on the new role, but cannot turn down the request to serve her people. Together with her most loyal handmaidens, Padme must figure out how to navigate the treacherous waters of politics and forge a new identity beyond the queen's shadow. Praise for Star Wars Queen's Shadow "A fascinating perspective into the backstory of a beloved and well-known character within the Star Wars universe, this is a must-have for reluctant readers or for fans of the franchise." School Library Journal "The Star Wars universe is all the brighter for a thoughtful and sentimental story about the women of Naboo that never-unlike Chancellor Palpatine-underestimates them." The Mary Sue "Nearly 20 years after the theatrical release of The Phantom Menace, we're finally getting a story worthy of Padm and her handmaidens".

My friend let me read a sample of their copy, and I was immediately intrigued as to where the story would go. I bought my own copy and am currently shopping for the next book in the trilogy. Queen’s Shadow doesn’t have a giant singular conflict like many other books do, it more follows the course of actions that the characters take as they move on to a different type of life. I personally enjoy books like this one and wish that there were more like it in other series’s. I know that it’s not the type of book for everyone, but if you enjoy the Star Wars galaxy and Padmé’s life, I would highly recommend it.
