Part 6 | Star Wars: Queen's Shadow

Today the SibNerds are talking about Chapters 23 - End! We got the climax and falling action in this last section—it was cool to see Padme really shine as a relief coordinator and Senator. A true cast of villains is coming together, no doubt to setup the next two books in the trilogy! This is our final installment of this book—and our final episode. Thanks for being along with us for the journey! Happy Reading! 

Today the SibNerds are hosting their last adventure into all things storytelling. It's been a beautiful five years of yapping about some of our favorite things—but it's time for this chapter to come to an end. Thank you for being with us—whether it was for one episode, all of them, or anything in between. We're grateful for your time with us. Remember to keep reading and talking to one another. (We have one more week of our Read Along of Star Wars: Queen's Shadow by E.K. Johnston!)

Today the SibNerds are talking about Chapters 18 - 22! We were on 3 planets this section—Naboo, Coruscant, and Bromlarch! So you could say we covered some ground this week! It was very cool to see Padme with her family while on vacation. And then it was cool to see her jump right into action as she got back to work. We're already guessing how some of these different elements are going to come together. Next time we'll be discussing Chapters 23 – the end! Happy Reading! 

Today the SibNerds are talking about Chapters 15 - 17! We finally saw R2-D2! And it was perfect! This section is giving summer vacation to Alderaan, and we're here for it!  Next time we'll be discussing Chapters 18 - 22! Happy Reading! 

Today the SibNerds are talking about the new Superman movie! Big spoilers ahead if you haven't watched it yet! Without giving spoilers in the description, we left the movie feeling entertained and hopeful. It's a very good movie with excellent music and phenomenal acting. If you want a dose of hopecore and non-toxic masculinity, this one is for you! Join us for our Read Along of Star Wars: Queen's Shadow by E.K. Johnston!

Today the SibNerds are talking about Chapters 12 - 14!  Padme got to be a super spy in this section—she even climbs a tree! Our girl is finally being accepted by the "rebels." We got another R2-D2 mention, but still haven't seen him. And Sabe and Tonra? Yes, please. Next time we'll be discussing Chapters 15 - 17! Happy Reading!

Today the SibNerds are talking about Chapters 9 - 11! We finished up part 2 and started part 3 of the book! We definitely hit a slower-paced section with this week—falling action and what we're sure is a steady ramp up into the next part of the story. Despite it being slower, it was full of familiar faces, which was quite fun! Next time we'll be discussing Chapters 12 - 14! Happy Reading! 

Today the SibNerds are talking about Chapters 7 & 8! This week we get our first exposure to Padme in the Senate—and it doesn't go at all how she anticipated. She's overwhelmed and incredibly human. We also get to see Sabe take on slavery on Tatooine—and again, it doesn't go as smoothly as our heroes hoped. But she's putting in the work, and we love her. Next time we'll be discussing Chapters 9 - 11! Happy Reading!  Twitter: @litround Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LitRoundTable Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thelitroundtable Art: Kris Easler: https://www.kriseasler.com/

Today the SibNerds are talking about Chapters 4 - 6! Well, it didn't take long for Padme's plans to be sidelined by a position in the Galactic Senate! We were surprised, but not in a bad way!  Also, malfunctioning droids leading to assassination attempts? Sounds like Star Wars to us! Next time we'll be discussing Chapters 7 & 8!

Today the SibNerds are talking about Chapters Prologue - 3! It feels appropriate to be starting a new Read Along in May with a Star Wars novel! There's been some exciting developments in the Star Wars universe, and it's fun to dip our toes into one of the newer novels as well. These first few chapters are really setting the stage for Padme's transition from Queen to Senator of Naboo—and we're excited to be along for the journey.  Next time we'll be discussing Chapters 4 - 6!
