The Uncrowned King by Michelle West
4.0
4 stars, a slower book in this series but still a good one
With the Dominion of Annagar leaderless and the Terafin losing political authority, this book enters something of a holding pattern while the Annagarians host a contest to determine their next ruler and the Aterafins fall into infighting to determine who will succeed the Terafin. The political machinations and danger from allies who are scheming for power drives a lot of the tension of this book which helps make it a stronger story than it could have been in less experienced hands. As ever, West's character work is fantastic it's great seeing Jewel really find her footing as a leader.
