The Exiled Queen
by Cinda Williams Chima
I very rarely like YA.
Even when I was a YA. I could never relate to the stupid ass choices, the tired ass love triangle trope, and the whole "I'm 16 and am going to lead veteran warriors into battle, disregarding all their wisdom and life learned strategic logic because I'M THE CHOSEN ONE!!!"
This has none of that and I love it. The main characters act their age. They kiss people, lots of people. They fall in and out of love with people. They make the best choices they can with the information available to them. They are learning as they go.
It's fantastic!
