The Serpent and the Wings of Night

No Nonsense Review:
- I really liked it.
- I liked the sequel and 2 novellas, too.
- The story is unique-ish for a tournament / game theme and it's paced well.

- The main female character is interesting, adaptive, and doesn't make me want to rip my hair out.
- The main male character is OK.

- Not a ton of spice, but what's there is written very well.
