This book was the last one of the Padme book series I have read. But in my opinion it was one of the best Star wars books. The book was existing and mostly very fun to read. There were some parts were I was a bit bored but not to much. The book made me feel all the feelings. I was quite impressed how good the book fit in to the timeline of the movies. I rewatched the first episode to compare and I can not complain. 
Mrs Johnson managed to describe the first grownup relationships very good. And how hard it can bee for teenagers to develop them especially when there is a special situation and power imbalance involved. 
I also liked that there was a little bit of shuttle queer representation in this book. Even some relationships that get deeper and more intense/grownup in the other books. 
The book also talked about menstruations and did it quite well it didn't feel forced and award it just was normal. Sure it once lead to one or two strange situations but it just felt right. 

What I especially loved about this book was the connection that was drawn between Padmé and Princess Leia. In the Prologue and the epilogue with the girl in the white dress.
A real nice book I definitely recommend it.
