2021 book 118

 Katherine Addison's The Goblin Emperor

I haven't read this since it first came out, but there is a sequel/companion coming out in June, so it seemed time! I pretty much only remembered that I liked it, and that it was about a half elvish/half goblin young man living in exile, who becomes emperor of the elvish kingdom after his father and older brothers are killed. And he’s unprepared and uneducated in the ways of the court, and a bunch of ppl are racist, and there's tons of politicking (which I love), and there are just so many great little moments. Just great found family, making friends, doing one's best. Super satisfying. A.
