Queen's Peril
by E.K. Johnston
I really, really, enjoyed this one! TPM was always my favorite of the saga growing up and I loved Padmé.
It was super interesting getting more background on the handmaidens. Johnston did a great job of bringing each one to life, and really hooked me from the start. My favorite (other than Sabé) is definitely Rabé. I would love a spin-off dedicated to her.
Instead of doing a simple retelling from Padmé’s perspective, the book focuses on the formation of the handmaiden group and fills in gaps within the TPM timeline. I kept getting so surprised every time a new perspective was introduced. The addition of Mariek Panaka and Typho’s views as a college student were so cool!
* I definitely recommend trying the audiobook version too! It was so cool hearing Catherine Taber, narrate in Padmé’s own voice.
