    Um. I forgot how much I loved Padmé, oh my God. Padmé deserves everything, and I love her dearly. I liked that we saw her actual family in this. This makes me extremely excited to continue with this trilogy, and then ending left me with more questions. Like, I wonder where the second one will pick up at since the epilogue in this one was after ROTS. The fact that everyone thinks Obi-Wan is dead after Padmé’s funeral actually pains me. I’m also very excited to know more about Padmé’s sister. Very excited, actually. Overall, I give it 4.5/5 stars, I probably won’t read it again, but I’m definitely continuing the series.
