Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

"A fascinating perspective into the backstory of a beloved and well-known character within the Star Wars universe, this is a must-have for reluctant readers or for fans of the franchise."—School Library Journal

"The Star Wars universe...is all the brighter for a thoughtful and sentimental story about the women of Naboo that never—unlike Chancellor Palpatine—underestimates them."—The Mary Sue

"Nearly 20 years after the theatrical release of The Phantom Menace, we’re finally getting a story worthy of Padmé and her handmaidens."—The Daily Dot
