Leia is claiming her role as Princess of Alderaan by doing a series of traditional challenges. While completing these challenges she is also investigating why her parents aren’t as present in her life as they used to be, uncovering the evil of the empire, and making friends along the way. I’ve never read a Star Wars book before, but I wanted to read more of Claudia Gray after The Murder of Mr. Wickham. This one was really good! There was a nice balance between character and plot. There was some teenage angst, but it always got interrupted by a fun adventure. The audiobook was lots of fun, with background sound effects throughout the story. You’ll like this if you enjoy sci-fi without the gore, political machinations, a bit of romance, and a teenage coming-of-age story with truly hard decisions to make.
