This was a good prequel to The Phantom Menace, but 85% from Padme's point of view. It's starts after the election when she wins and becomes Queen. A lot is adjusting to the position, learning to lead, and getting her handmaid team together and learning to live and trust each other. But of course, soon enough, the Trade Federation is coming around... it also does show a scene here and there of some other characters that we also come across in TPM and what they are doing before or during those events. All in all, a nice addition to the library - and also narrated by the voice behind the Clone Wars' Padme.
