woah what a masterpiece
going into this, i didn’t have the biggest expectations since i was mostly an anidala fan before an amidala fan, yet this is probably on my favorites from this trilogy
such an interesting story and very captivating writing
i loved seeing young padme navigate the world of being queen
it was also nice seeing things like “why natalie portman spoke with such a different voice when playing the queen” get explained in this novel
i absolutely loved the characters and the complexity of being the queen
i loved seeing how the handmaidens worked together and it made me realize that they weren’t “servers”, they where padmes equals
without them, it wouldn’t turn out how we know
i loved that we got a prelude to phantom menace yet the book also took place during our beloved episode 1. I would definitely recommend this
