Tome Thursday: Queen's Peril


Hello everyone!

Wouldn't you know it, I'm back with another story from the galaxy far, far away.

You didn't think I'd left it ALL behind, did you?

I was only waiting for another awesome release.

A lot of people will argue (and do argue actually) that the post-Disney era is garbage, and I respectfully disagree with that. At least this post-Disney era gives us books focusing on some of the characters we've been dying to hear more about!

Plus I read books not by the era they were published in, but by what interests me at the time.

And a book about Padmé Amidala is ALWAYS going to win my good graces.

When it was announced that E.K. Johnston would be writing a prequel, or basically just another Padmé story, I was beyond thrilled.

Because character-driven stories like Queen's Peril are what we need.

Tome Thursday: Queen's Shadow


Hello everyone!

Sooo I kind of lied. The last time I reviewed a Star Wars-related book, I mean.

I said, and don't quote me directly on this, but I said something along the lines of 'I need a break from the galaxy far, far away'.

And then I went and dived right back into said galaxy, only a little before the books I'd been reading.

Maybe I didn't need to take a Star Wars break.

Maybe I just needed a New Republic break.

That makes some sense to me as I can feel reluctance in trying to start something New Republic-related at the moment - three books in a row are quite enough for now - but actual excitement and enthusiasm for potential OLD Republic books.

I'm a complicated person.

And I survived the latest Shadowhunters episode, which means that I can dive into Queen's Shadow with gusto.
