Here’s the official description:

When Padmé Naberrie, “Queen Amidala” of Naboo, steps down from her position, she is asked by the newly-elected queen to become Naboo’s representative in the Galactic Senate. Padmé is unsure about taking on the new role, but cannot turn down the request to serve her people. Together with her most loyal handmaidens, Padmé must figure out how to navigate the treacherous waters of politics and forge a new identity beyond the queen’s shadow.

The book has generally received great reviews when it was released and definitely gives us a good look at the political climate of the Prequel Era. While some would like to complain about that element in the films, Johnston is said to have a good hand at making the topic interesting, and she even makes use of several EU characters from The Clone Wars.

It’s also worth noting that the book delves into themes on feminism and women in politics, and you can see them when Padme is not taken seriously because of her age and gender.
