This book takes place immediately after the last one, with Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan arriving on Gala where they have to overlook the upcoming election. This is the first time a ruler is being elected, rather than being naturally selected by royal descent, and there is much unrest throughout the major cities. Qui-Gon quickly parts ways with Obi-Wan in order to find the true heir and hopefully preventing the worst things from happening. Meanwhile Obi-Wan is at the palace, finding new excuses about the whereabout of his master. In doing so he discovers a plot involving the queen and gets himself into all sorts of trouble. A short, but fun read.
(No spoilers) So far my favourite book oft the series. Zwar I liked about it was the focus on palace intrigues, plots and schemes woven by several political parties in their struggle for power. It's not King's Landing, but surprisingly complex for a children's book. There were some plot twists I hoped for, but concidered out of the question because these books tend to be pretty clear-cut when it comes to 'good' and 'evil' characters, with very little room for 'grey morality'. So when they did happen, I was pleasantly surprised.
