The King of Attolia, by Megan Whalen Turner. Queen's Thief #3. Eugenides - a basically good person with some amusing but serious character flaws - has to come to peace with a new set of responsibilities, and, more important, needs to earn the respect of those around him, although he's not even trying. Our point-of-view character is one of the guards, Costis, and it's an excellent story. On to #4.

I should add... this one comes with an additional story at the end, an event in the life of the future queen of Eddis, at age nine. Quite memorable.
