Queen's Shadow by E.K. Johnston
3.0

This book was ... underwhelming. While it did fill some gaps in the Star Wars universe, I found myself feeling like I just read nothing. This book could've been bullet points, and I felt like it would have given me the same information in a shorter amount of time. Every time I felt like they reached some kind of conflict, they resolved it on the next page or in the same chapter. It didn't feel like this book had an overarching plot. It was just, as I mentioned before, a bullet point list of events that happened. There was even a lack of emotion to it all.

The book didn't feel that deep, and I certainly wasn't moved or impressed by it, which disappoints me so much. I was so looking forward to enjoying this book and being blown away by it, but I was left feeling like I didn't even read anything. It felt like a bit of a waste of time, which pains me to say.

Because of this book, I will not continue reading the series, nor will I recommend this book to anyone. In fact, I will tell them they don't need to read it at all and save their money for other things.
