2021 book 85

 Elizabeth Moon’s Oath of Fealty

This is the start of another series set in Paks' world, but focused on some of the secondary characters from the previous trilogy (and written like twenty years later), all dealing with taking on the burden of leadership. Of course the new king is one, dealing with human-elven relations, but there's also the cool lady captain, who’s now a Duke, dealing with her evil family, and another captain who is now in charge of the whole military company (there are a few other POV characters as well, but it’s mainly these three). I really find the religion and world-building here interesting, and was invested in all three stories. Content warning for mentions of animal torture and rape (sigh). A-.
