riajade01 's review for:
Queen's Shadow
by E.K. Johnston
A quick, entirely enjoyable read. I'm not sure I have ever read a Star Wars novel where the main female characters outnumbered the male characters. My memory could be faulty, but either way I love how having a cast of young women gives Johnston the opportunity show us a variety of takes on femininity and women supporting women.
Johnston breathes such life into the handmaidens that it honestly seems criminal we never see any of them again in other media. I would LOVE to see a show or film devoted to the handmaidens' exploits after Padme's death and during the early years of the Rebellion.
Lastly, the audiobook is read by Cat Taber, who voices Padme in the Clone Wars series. I know Taber more for her work on Star Wars: The Old Republic, as the Sith Warrior companion, Vette. So I got to listen to Vette read me a fun story of sneaky lady badassery.
