Queen's Peril by E.K. Johnston
3.0
This was a fun book to read. I’ve always liked books about royalty, political intrigue and strategy. I liked that teenage girls were portrayed as clever, cunning, brave and heroic.
I did find the plot a little bit unevenly paced, but the good parts outweight the not so good parts. However, I didn’t like that after some point the plot is limited to fill in the blanks of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, and nothing more, so there’s a constant jump between scenes. This book assumes that the reader has already watched the film. So in essence, this is for Star Wars fans.
This book was published as a prequel to two already released books, so maybe if I had read those first I would’ve liked this one more. Still a solid entry. I love Padme and I will consume anything related to her. If you’re a Star Wars fan and love her as much as I do, this book is for you.
