Publisher's summary
A prequel to the New York Times best-selling novel Queen's Shadow, further exploring the life of the iconic Padmé Amidala!
When 14-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. To keep her safe and secure, she'll need a group of skilled handmaidens who can be her assistants, confidantes, defenders, and decoys. Each girl is selected for her particular talents, but it will be up to Padmé to unite them as a group. When Naboo is invaded by forces of the Trade Federation, Queen Amidala and her handmaidens will face the greatest test - of themselves and of each other.

Meanwhile, with Padmé on a secret mission, her handmaiden Sabé steps into the role of Senator Amidala, something no handmaiden has done for an extended period of time. While in the Senate, Sabé is equally horrified by the machinations that happen there.

The Republic is decaying, even under the leadership of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, who was elected to save the galaxy from collapsing under the forces of discontent. On the tiny but strategic planet of Ansion, a powerful faction is on the verge of joining the growing secessionist movement. The urban dwellers wish to expand into the prairies outside their cities–the ancestral territory of the fierce, independent Ansion nomads. If their demands are not met, they will secede–an act that could jump-start a chain reaction of withdrawal and rebellion by other worlds of the Republic.

Our universe is ruled by physics, and faster-than-light travel is not possible - until the discovery of The Flow, an extradimensional field we can access at certain points in space-time that transports us to other worlds, around other stars. Humanity flows away from Earth, into space, and in time forgets our home world and creates a new empire, the Interdependency, whose ethos requires that no one human outpost can survive without the others. It's a hedge against interstellar war - and a system of control for the rulers of the empire.

Qi’ra listened to the dreams and promises of a boy with a reckless smile, only to be torn away from him and returned to the White Worms gang while Han made his way to freedom. Now freedom seems like a luxury she can’t afford while she concentrates on survival and despairs of ever leaving Corellia. But her fortunes seem to turn when a representative of the crime syndicate Crimson Dawn plucks Qi’ra from captivity and brings her to the syndicate’s leader, the mysterious and mercurial Dryden Vos.

Karr is a teenage boy like many others in the galaxy. He goes to school, helps his parents with the family business, likes speeders and droids. But Karr also has a secret: When he touches certain objects, he gets searing headaches and blacks out. And along with the pain sometimes come visions of people he doesn't know and places he's never been. Karr's parents worry that he's sick; his grandmother is convinced the visions come from the Force. But it's been years since anyone has heard from the last of the Jedi - Luke Skywalker. Are there any Jedi left to guide Karr?

For the handful of scattered Jedi, survival is imperative if the light side of the Force is to be protected and the galaxy somehow, someday reclaimed. Yet more important still is the well-being of the twin infants, Leia and Luke Skywalker, the children of Anakin and his doomed bride, Padme Amidala. Separated after Padme's death, they must be made safe at all costs, lest the hope they represent for the future be turned to horror by the new Sith regime, and the unspeakable power of the dark side.

On the planet Tython, the ancient Je’daii order was founded. And at the feet of its wise Masters, Lanoree Brock learned the mysteries and methods of the Force - and found her calling as one of its most powerful disciples. But as strongly as the Force flowed within Lanoree and her parents, it remained absent in her brother, who grew to despise and shun the Je’daii, and whose training in its ancient ways ended in tragedy. Now, from her solitary life as a Ranger keeping order across the galaxy, Lanoree has been summoned by the Je’daii Council on a matter of utmost urgency.

Amazing job!
Such a great book. Love that it was narrated by Catherine Taber who plays Padme in The Clone Wars. We need more audio books with the actors narrating! Having Padme’s back story makes her story even more tragic.

A funny lore expansion
I had no idea that there was so much behind the Queen and her handmaid's. As I listened to the book I couldn't help but to look up each name of the different girls to see where they were in Episode One. As a man who grew up with sisters and now a father to a beautiful daughter I found alot of the conversations between the girls to be charming. The last few chapters did give me a good range of emotions. I'm excited to learn more about the girls and their journeys!

Great “Lore” Expansion
We didn’t NEED a story set during this time but I’m glad we got it! First if anyone was wondering, you can definitely listen to this before Queen’s Shadow. While it is a “prequel” to it, nothing quite gives anything away from there.
This is really just an expansion on some small parts from Queen’s Shadow given more depth. Depth that adds a lot to TPM also well towards the end. This was great to see Padmé’s character in this way and how she ruled as a queen if it was for a short time before TPM.
The only “critique” I have is that the last two sections are basically TPM from the other characters POV. Which I hesitate to call it a critique because it’s a great expansion on what was already there.

A little short with an agenda
The voice acting was solid. I didn't appreciate some of the story elements such as a focus on the menstrual cycle which little to drive the story. i did like it's explanations on why padme is so good at everything.

Another great Padmé book
The performance was excellent, and the story did a great job expanding the events of Phantom Menace. At times, there is a bit of pacing whiplash, and some moments didn’t get enough time to breath. If you enjoyed Queen’s Shadow, you’ll enjoy this.
