ellarebee 's review for:
Queen's Shadow
by E.K. Johnston
1) This made me despise Revenge of the Sith a little bit more because it cut out all of Padmè’s agency and abilities and made her a prop to Anakin. Ugh.
2) Padmè still has epically bad taste in partners. Sabè is RIGHT THERE. Ugh. Knowing she chooses Anakin bothers me even more now. And it bothered me deeply in AOTC when she chose to be with him after admitting he slaughtered women and children for revenge. Like, woman, really?!?!
3) Speaking of, more Sabè always. She was my favorite handmaiden and could clearly kick ass as much as Padmè.
4) LGBT+ rep!
5) The plot was a touch uneven. Sabè’s brief side trip to Tatooine felt unnecessary and somewhat out of place.
6) I didn’t realize this was a trilogy. I’m curious about the next book but won’t get to read it for a while.
Overall, 3.75/5 rounded up to 4. Star Wars fans, particular those that like Padmè, her handmaidens, and learning more about the Galactic Senate will enjoy this.
