wanderlustlover 's review for:
Queen's Shadow
by E.K. Johnston
Spring 2019 - Book/Kindle/Audiobook,
I waited twenty years for this book to exist and it did not disappoint. This tale is set at the end of Padme's reign as queen through the first year of her being a Senator, and I am in love with everything about it.
I love the careful attention given to the handmaidens everywhere in this book. I love the absolute heartbreak choice of how she started chapter one and mirrored it the start of the epilogue (which I will leave that vague so as not to spoiler anyone who hasn't read/doesn't know the reference yet). I love how she's made to pay politically the hard game of fixing the fact the Senate has no reason to trust anything she says after he absolute rejection of them at 14. I love how slow she figures out what she's good at and how the relationships with Bal and Monmothma actually come about (with slow, canny wariness).
Read it. Read all of it. Tell your friends. Especially all your girl-friends.
