Star Wars Queen’s Peril Non-spoiler Review

I loved this book. It’s from Padmé’s Election Day  to the end of The Phantom Menace, my favourite Prequel. And it’s a prequel to Queen’s Shadow. I enjoyed that one but this was several degrees better. I enjoyed getting more insight about Padmé and her handmaidens especially Keira Knightley’s Sabé. It also has some surprising scenes from other characters that blew me away. The Roger Roger B1 droids are actually menacing. I’m looking forward to the audio version by Padmé actress Cat Taber. The end got me teary eyed at 3 in the morning. I couldn’t put it down. I look forward to the possibility of a fourth Star Wars novel from EK Johnston.

Star Wars Poe Dameron Freefall Non-spoiler review

I love Poe and the Damerons and previous books and comics about them. This is faithful to those stories. The author definitely did his homework.    I was intrigued by Poe’s seedy past and I think Alex Segura did a great job expanding on that little nugget from the movie. I enjoyed Zorii and her own struggles. It added a lot to their scenes together in the movie.  I would recommend this book. Look for it in August.
