Together with her most loyal handmaidens, Padm must figure out how to navigate the treacherous waters of politics and forge a new identity beyond the queen's shadow.

In order to read January #StarWarsBuddyRead book, I needed to read the first books in this trilogy. I‘m having a good experience going through this world and remembering the characters. This one was a little slow pace. When Padmé will take another political position, she will encounter betrays but also loyalty by her friends. Beautiful friendship. That ending😱What??? Need to continue the adventure. 3.5/3.8⭐️ @BookwormAHN

Finally caught up with #StarWarsBuddyRead May pick (a month late - it didn't come in until June) and am now working on June's picks. This one was fine, I'd say 3.5 stars. The writing from Johnston is good but it wasn't necessarily the most riveting/exciting SW book. I'd read a book about Sabé post-epilogue in a heartbeat, though!
@Riveted_Reader_Melissa

Book 1 for #bfc week 2 as well! #bookfitnesschallenge #bfcr2 #justbookit @wanderinglynn

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Right! I‘d love to read a Sabé book! 5y

What do you think, possible or too much?
#StarWarsBuddyRead

annkuch13 Seems doable! 6y
bookandcat You know me I'll be lucky if I finish any in time! 😂😂 But I will give it a shot! 6y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @bookandcat I know, for some this is a doable idea and for some it‘s not at all. 6y

NovelGirl82 I‘ll give it a shot!! 6y
PSreads73 I wouldn‘t be able to keep up. I have too many #BOTM books to read also. Reading Ahsoka right now. Then I‘m starting the Darth Bane trilogy with Path of Destruction. Then Master & Apprentice. 6y
InLibrisVeritas I can give it a shot, I am unreliable when it comes to books these days though 😅 6y
SenatorMothma How do I get in on this buddy read? Just read and post? :) 5y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @SenatorMothma You got it! And if you are interested I‘ll tag you going forward. 5y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @PSreads73 I enjoyed both the picks this month, hopefully you‘ll enjoy Master & Apprentice when you get to it. I haven‘t read the Bane Trilogy yet. Do you want me to tag you in future posts? 5y
SenatorMothma @Riveted_Reader_Melissa yes please, thanks! 5y

NovelGirl82 I‘m starting way late, but I‘m starting Queen‘s Shadow tonight! Lol! I had review copies that I had got behind on. 🤦‍♀️ 6y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @NovelGirl82 That is perfectly understandable. I hope you enjoy it! 6y
bookandcat I always have good intentions but I'm usually behind in the reading or get stuck reading for something else 😂 I enjoy being tagged and seeing the picks though! 6y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @bookandcat 😂ok, I‘ll keep tagging you then. 6y
CSeydel Thanks for keeping me on the list! I paused my participation after Leia & the Thrawn books - I got Legends of Luke Skywalker from the library but didn‘t get too far before I had to return it. But a SW audiobook will be just the thing for our road trip in July! Work is crazy this week but over the weekend I‘ll look at the list & vote 🤩 6y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @CSeydel I do enjoy them on audiobook 6y
ElyssaReads I am super behind but finish the school year Friday and will be diving back into my TBR :) 6y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @ElyssaReads Yay for summer breaks! 6y

I quite enjoyed this peak into Padmé life, after the war on Naboo and before her ill fated love affair began. She was a strong Queen, Senator, and fighter for freedom, I can see where her daughter inherited many of her strengths and passions....and I was happy to see more strong woman in a galaxy far far away fleshed out and given center stage. Now I want a follow up on exactly what happened after that epilogue.

I was super excited to snag a special edition of the Star Wars Padme novel, Queen‘s Shadow, at Star Wars Celebration this year! Overall I didn‘t love the book *quite* as much as I was hoping to, but I loved all the characters, particularly handmaiden Sabe.

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Love that cover! 6y

I wasn‘t entirely impressed with this, but I don‘t really care. I‘ll read anything that has to do with Leia or Padme.
