I just found most of the stories very boring. The only ones that I really liked were The Long Hair in the Attic and Where The Sandman Lives.

I didn't like this as much as the other two. I wanted more of the story, but inside I just got stuff about the author that I didn't actually find interesting.

I loved this series. I love Padme, and Sabe, and Sache, and the other handmadians. I also loved the representation in this book. Lesbians, neopronouns, and a transgender clone. There's just so many things that I loved about this book.

I kinda just found this at a library sale and picked it up. It was super cool and I love the art style. I wanna try to get my hands on the other volumes, but it was still pretty cool if I can't read the rest.

The beginning was a little slow/boring, but the ending really got me.

I was just bored. I liked the ending, but that was pretty much it. I always have a hard time enjoying books that are about Obi-Wan and Anakin I guess. I love those characters, but I don't think Anakin hits the same in books.

I actually loved this so much. It was a pretty simple way to see a different perceptive of the events in The Phantom Menace, but it was also just a heartwarming story of how strong Padme and her handmaidens were.
