A Different Shadow

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

Picture
The persona of Queen Amidala must be cast aside at the end of her two terms - and Padmé must build a new one, perhaps the one she will wear for the rest of her life. When Naboo's queen asks her to consider becoming Naboo's senator, the answer is obvious. Not so obvious is the path that Padmé must walk on a completely different planet.

Oh my gosh, I freaking loved this. It filled in all the gaps that had bothered me for years - and gaps I hadn't even noticed. If this book had come out when I was younger, I would have read it to pieces. I've always loved fanon!Sabé, so it was a real joy to see her evolve here. And to have her become a canonically bi character? HELL YES. I am so incredibly happy with Queen's Shadow. It might be years late, but it is so very, very welcome.
