K. J. Parker: How to Rule an Empire and Get Away with It (2020, Orbit)

Review of 'How to Rule an Empire and Get Away with It' on 'Goodreads'

A fantasy medieval setting of Moon Over Parador, Dave, Prince and the Pauper with a twist

Frothy, breezy style of narration. Great pacing and happy to let you fill in the pieces as you go rather than slog thru exposition.
Interesting world building with a very light touch
