A review by octavosaurus
Queen's Peril by E.K. Johnston

3.0

I really wanted to love this book, and initially I did! It has a lot more perspectives than “Queen’s Shadow” and the writing feels a lot more confident. However it really fell apart for me in the final third because it’s so intertwined with The Phantom Menace it becomes really disjointed on its own. I haven’t seen the film in many years and that didn’t help, but I feel like the shift to these events could have been managed a lot better than it was. I’ll still read the final book in this trilogy but I’m sadly a bit underwhelmed with it so far.
