When Padmé Naberrie, "Queen Amidala" of Naboo, steps down from her position, she is asked by the newly-elected queen to become Naboo's representative in the Galactic Senate. Padmé is unsure about taking on the new role, but cannot turn down the request to serve her people. Together with her most loyal handmaidens, Padmé must figure out how to navigate the treacherous waters of politics and forge a new identity beyond the queen's shadow.

As a man, I liked that this story about women was written by a woman. A man would've written this very differently, for sure.
I liked Padme's voice actress is the same actress who voiced her in the Animated Series.
Story's not really exciting... for me at least.

Okay, but skippable.

i listen to this while reading the book.It gives a beautiful description of Padmès backstory and how she came to be the amazing senator that she was.

Lots of men reviewing this book, so I'll lend my voice. Beautiful reading by the actress who plays the animated Padmé, more talk and less shooting than most Star Wars novels, but that's because Padmé's a diplomat, not a soldier or a Jedi. Interesting story giving more backbone to Padmé's history. I really enjoyed it. Definitely get if you like a deeper look at the characters of Star Wars who sometimes get skirted over in the films.
