Queen's Peril (Star Wars Disney Canon) by E.K. Johnston

Queen's Peril (Star Wars Disney Canon) by E.K. Johnston-276 pages

I enjoyed reading this novel. It explains how Padme Amidala won the election and became Queen of Naboo and it also explains how her handmaidens were chosen. It susses out the process of her handmaidens becoming interchangeable with her and being trained to play the role of Queen. Padme's early time as Queen is explored leading up to the events of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace and beyond. The book is mostly from the point-of-view of Padme/Queen Amidala, but the handmaidens' voices and a few others are included, additionally.
