a_chickletz 's review for:
Queen's Shadow
by E.K. Johnston
The handmaidens are something I have often wondered about, and sad to say disappointed that Lucas never really gave them more purpose. At least he seemed to tease the fact that they stood in for Padme (see the first film and the second film of the prequel series).
To have this book finally, read it, it leaves me sorry to say that I was a bit disappointed.
I'm giving this book three stars for the handmaidens and Padme's relationship. I am knocking this down two stars because of the plot. The fact is, there was hardly one and the one we got wasn't really meaty enough. Did Padme really jump that quickly into politics? Did she really attempt to rescue the slaves on Tatooine - briefly?
I wanted more and I wish I could tell you what I wanted, but it wasn't what ended up being on the page.
