The Uncrowned King by Michelle West
5.0
4.5 stars
We follow Valedan as he prepares for the king's challenge as a way to demonstrate he has skills to the Southerners before he leads an army home to take back his title, sword, and home that was stolen when his family was slaughtered by the men oath sworn to protect them. What he doesn't take into account is how many people will die to protect him while he participates in the challenge. We get to witness him learning the cost of things and growing as he decides how best to handle the challenging situations that come his way.
I really enjoy watching Valedan grow and become wiser and all the people he interacts with from his trainers to his guards to his fellow hostages. We see more of the beginning of the Terafin house war with Jewel and her den as well.
