EK Johnson is so hit or miss for me as an author. I've only read her Star Wars related books so far, because of this. @Star Wars: Queen's Shadow was NOT a good book. However, this book is an improvement, it begins with the election of Padme Amidala, and ends after Phantom Menace. It mostly covers how the handmaidens came to be, and the relationship between them.
I liked how this book revealed a little more about Shmi, that she was also good with gadgets and fixed a screen so they could watch Anakin during the podrace.I want a book about Shmi now.
What I don't understand about these new SW writers is the need to slap in love interests and who is interested in who... I legitimately don't care, and it never adds anything to the story. Unless romantic interests/feelings drive a story, leave that crap out, I'm reading it for the Star Wars content.
Parts of this book I really liked and I would read it again. However, I still think Padme's character should have been given to Claudia Gray, rather than this author. I think Padme should be given at least one adult book, written by someone else.
