2026 book 122

 Kate Elliott's Jaran

The SHEER DELIGHT of stumbling onto a series by an author you like that you somehow didn't know about, and it's everything you like in a series, and you can just SINK INTO IT! This is the start of a sci-fi series in which a young woman, whose brother is an important dude in the galaxy, isn't sure she's capable of being his heir--and then she stumbles onto political shenanigans on another planet involving their alien overlords. A planet her brother is supposed to control, in order to let the indigenous people thrive and not be taken over by all the STUFF in the galaxy (though he is absolutely and hilariously trickling in books on like Newtonian physics to their university). Anyway, she gets adopted by a group of nomads and I LOVE THEM, this is such good world-building, adventures and politics and romance ensue! A!
