2021 book 19

 Kristin Cashore's Winterkeep

This is set five years after the events of Bitterblue, and finds our young queen dealing with some heretofore unknown nations that have some magic of their own. There are some returning characters, as well as several new POV characters, including the teenage daughter of a pair of politicians, a giant sea creature, and a psychic fox. I was here for all of that. (I was even more here for the friendly psychic purple seals.) I even thought the romance was cute! A satisfying and diverting read! (Be warned there is some cruelty/abuse of children in this book.) A/A-.
