The Trouble with Kings by Sherwood Smith
4.0
I would've loved this book, except that I found the over-use of the word lust very disturbing (I mean, how can 'in lust' be said so casually by characters like that??? ) I liked Flian more than Meliara(see Crown & Court) because she was a lot more sensible and less hotheaded, but I found so many things lacking, and there were many unanswered questions, such as how Jewel and Maxl got married in the end ( this case was discussed so much in the book, so why weren't we provided with what really happened? It did not suffice to just say that they got married) and also how Jason dealt with Garian. And what about Markham? We all want to know something about him.
All in all, if I'd been Sherwood Smith, I would've taken this book, written it again, and given the plot and characters more space to flesh out. It would have made and a good duology .
