Queen's Shadow
by E.K. Johnston
This is a must read for any Padmé fan.
This is a beautiful story that shows Padmés transition from Queen to Senator.
It was great to be able to explore the character of Padmé, outside of the context of Anakin Skywalker and his story.
This book just aids in building Padmé as a character and shows just how smart, adaptable and strong this character is.
I love that we get to see and experience Padmés relationships with her handmaidens and guards. This book greatly develops each one of the handmaidens and guards, which is brilliant. Especially Sabé. These background characters are developed into important 3D characters. Who have stories of their own.
We get to see Padmé build friendships and partnerships with key senators like Bail Organa, Mon Mothma, Mina Bonteri and Clovis.
We also get to learn more about Naboo and Naboo culture. As some who loves the planet of Naboo. It was great to see the reasons and customs behind certain things. An example the Queens wardrobe.
I also love that we get to see how much respect Padmé had for Qui Gon Jin. We also are told that Naboo see Qui Gon as a hero. I thought these were nice touches. It was also get to see that the events of Ep1 had an effect on Padmé after her terms as Queen were up.
This book greatly integrates with the movies and clone wars animated show. Continuity it key!!!
Do not go into this book expecting an action pack adventure. This book revolves a lot around politics and the political world of Star Wars. I don’t mind this as I love leaning more about the political structure of the republic.
Definitely recommend.
