Queen's Hope

This book was fine, but the main problem with it is that it doesn't feel like it adds anything at all. I know these EU novels are working with a stacked deck, but you can still find ways to expand upon something in a meaningful way, and I don't think this book did, except with the stuff with Sabe. But the Padme, Anakin, and Palpatine stuff was all the most basic, run of the mill stuff you could imagine yourself took place in between films 2 and 3. I would read another book about Sabe, though.

Also this audiobook was absolutely terrible, the sound effects added nothing to the experience and were loud and mixed in with the audio the entire time, things like the swaying of the ship but constantly. It was a weird choice.
