Queen's Shadow

Am reading the new Padme novel right now. This really hits the spot for me.  Space politics, that's what I'm talkin' about!  Looks like I'll finally get some answers to how the Senate (as in the body of politicians and not the singular Sith politician who calls himself that, though he's naturally in here too) works. Though some of the stuff in this novel contradicted some stuff I thought was canon, but maybe I just didn't watch Attack of the Clones closely enough.

I am a little less than halfway through.
