February - Theme - New Release (published in the 20's)

[colls]

This month will be a themed month. The idea is to read any Star Wars book you'd like that can be applied to the theme. The material can be anything - adult, YA, comics, even story-centric games.

1. Have you started reading your chosen book? If so, how's it going?

I started listening to the Queen's Peril audiobook today and I very much missed the Star Wars audiobooks with their sound effects. They're just enough to feel StarWarsy but not enough to be overwhelming. ♥

The narrator took me a chapter or two to settle into, but that's a preference thing. Padmé is so very young in this book. Ironically, we don't even have anything from her POV yet.

Is it definitely a prequel to the book we read in the group? Is R2 still Padme's faithful astromech retainer?

It is definitely a prequel - she's just won the election to become Queen (and the other book she'd just won the election to be Senator - which was after Queen).

I'm not far enough along to know if R2 is in it yet. I hope he is!
