Leia: Princess of Alderaan
by Claudia Gray
A good read about young Leia. I like that it ties Holdo in to the story and explains Leia's parents' very direct role in the beginnings of the Rebellion.
My favorite part is when Leia visits a moon of Naboo and interacts with the queen who is quite like her biological mother (though Leia doesn't know of course). They talk with an Imperial and Naboo native named Moff Panaka who is struck by how much Leia resembles someone he used to know. He starts asking her questions about her parents, and based on her age and the fact that she was adopted has him suspecting something and says he will speak with the Emperor about her. Of course he doesn't get to tell the Emperor ;) I loved the tie in with Padme and how there are people around who know the truth about Leia's parents, but it's always kept from her.
I preferred Bloodline (also written by Claudia Gray) where the truth about Leia's father in particular is made known to the galaxy, but this was a nice "origin story" as well.
