halr 's review for:
Queen's Peril
by E.K. Johnston
i’m obsessed that this book is essentially about how teenage girls can be cool, smart politicians while they’re still figuring out normal teenage girl stuff like how to tell ur crush you like them and having your first period. more YA books where having your period is a reality of life!!!!
since the book was shorter than Queen’s Shadow, i do wish there could have been even more fleshing out of Sabe and Padme’s friendship, but that’s a me thing because it’s one of my favorite relationships in star wars.
i also wish there was a little more that set up Padme falling SO hard for anakin in attack of the clones, because when I rewatched the movie after reading this, it was hard to reconcile the “i’ve been going on missions to help planets in crisis since i was 7” padme with the “anakin just killed a village of sandpeople but i’m going to tell him it’s okay to be angry sometimes” padme. buuuut really i will never ever fault any new authors for not being able to totally connect some of the bonkers actions people take in the movies. and as a padme stan, i support women’s rights but i also support women’s wrongs. AND, i know we’ll get so much more of that perspective from Padme in Queen’s Hope, which i’m so excited for. anxiously waiting for my library to get the audiobook!!
