A peace-loving senator faces a time of war in another thrilling Padmé Amidala adventure from the author of the New York Times best-sellers Queen's Peril and Queen's Shadow! Padmé is adjusting to being a wartime senator during the Clone Wars. Her secret husband, Anakin Skwyalker, is off fighting the war, and excels at being a wartime Jedi. In contrast, when Padmé gets the opportunity to see the casualties on the war-torn front lines, she is horrified. The stakes have never been higher for the galaxy, or for the newly-married couple. 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. She comes face to face with a gut-wrenching decision as she realizes that she cannot fight a war this way, not even for Padmé. And Chancellor Palpatine hovers over it all, manipulating the players to his own ends… Literature & Fiction Movie, TV & Video Game Tie-ins Science Fiction Science Fiction & Fantasy Space Opera Marriage War Royalty Star Wars

Hook Quality: Coming from the perspective of the previous E.K. Johnston books from this series I was already drawn into the story. I would argue it may be hard to keep up with the many characters involved for someone new to the series.
Character Depth: If you are already familiar with the past E. K. Johnston books I do think this book has interesting character depth for Padme and Sabe.

Strong Points: I don’t know if feminist is the correct word for it, but this book is very progressive in certain ways and I really enjoyed seeing more of it in the star wars saga. Additionally, without spoiling too much there is a clone soldier that goes by the name “Sister.”

Weak Points: This book is very confusing, I listened to it several times before I understood it more fully.

Writing Style: Complicated, but undeniably sophisticated.

Narrator Quality: Good. The narrator is the voice actor of Padmé in The Clone Wars.

Confusing, but well worth the effort.

The performance was great, but I didn't care much for the story. Also, it seemed like there was a repeated part towards the end.

Performance was great!
