When fourteen-year-old Padmé Naberrie wins the election for Queen of Naboo, she adopts the name Amidala and leaves her family to the rule from the royal palace.

A very good read! Queen Amidala is my favorite Star Wars character, so I had to read the book about her and her handmaidens. Fantastic backstory! :)
Such a lovely way to show a more in-depth look at Padmé with her handmaidens.
I’ve never thought too much into them (now a regret) but this book is just a lovely addition and again adds layers to Padmé that we would never have seen before. I heckin’ love Padmé content.
I love how it entwined so effortlessly into TPM and tells more of the story we didn’t see in the films.
Overall a really good first Star Wars read for me!
