Synopsis

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…

Happy, happy sigh! I was so delighted when I found out that there was going to be a book about Padme, and that it was going to be written by my friend Kate, one of the most passionate Star Wars fans I know! And then we ended up with a TRILOGY! (So fitting!) A trilogy of books about the badass queen-t......more

3.5 Stars I enjoyed some of the scenes in this one, but it was hard not to compare it to Brotherhood which takes place during the same period but is so much stronger. This is worth reading if you love more time between Padme and Anikan, but it does not add much to the larger story.......more
