This book was the last one of the Padme book series I have read. But in my opinion it was one of the best Star wars books. The book was existing and mostly very fun to read. There were some parts were I was a bit bored but not to much. The book made me feel all the feelings. I was quite impressed how good the book fit in to the timeline of the movies. I rewatched the first episode to compare and I can not complain. 
Mrs Johnson managed to describe the first grownup relationships very good. And how hard it can bee for teenagers to develop them especially when there is a special situation and power imbalance involved. 
I also liked that there was a little bit of shuttle queer representation in this book. Even some relationships that get deeper and more intense/grownup in the other books. 
The book also talked about menstruations and did it quite well it didn't feel forced and award it just was normal. Sure it once lead to one or two strange situations but it just felt right. 

What I especially loved about this book was the connection that was drawn between Padmé and Princess Leia. In the Prologue and the epilogue with the girl in the white dress.
A real nice book I definitely recommend it.

Damn. Its been a minute since I just sat down and enjoyed a book. This was a really fun light read and I highly suggest it! There is some overlapping with Episode one and personally I would have been totally fine if they left that out. I know people want to see cameos and blah blah, but a story about the handmaidens growing together would have been more favorable. I think because I enjoy the politics of the star wars universe. Either way, it was really fun to read and short enough to complete in a couple nights.

I have loved the job that E.K. Johnston has done with these Padme books (Queen’s Shadow and now Queen’s Peril). For someone who loves Star Wars and these glimpses into character’s lives through novels this was very well done! You get a lot of back story on the handmaidens as well as a glimpse into young Padme’s life. The only thing I wish was that parts in the middle hadn’t dragged so much, but the details were great and built each character too.
