The Empress of All Seasons by Emiko Jean

Each generation, a competition is held to find the next empress of Honoku. The rules are simple. Survive the palace's enchanted seasonal rooms. Conquer Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall. Marry the prince. All are eligible to compete--all except yokai, supernatural monsters and spirits whom the human emperor is determined to enslave and destroy. Mari has spent a lifetime training to become empress. Winning should be easy. And it would be, if she weren't hiding a dangerous secret. Mari is a yokai with the ability to transform into a terrifying monster. If discovered, her life will be forfeit. As she struggles to keep her true identity hidden, Mari's fate collides with that of Taro, the prince who has no desire to inherit the imperial throne, and Akira, a half-human, half-yokai outcast. Torn between duty and love, loyalty and betrayal, vengeance and forgiveness, the choices of Mari, Taro, and Akira will decide the fate of Honoku in this beautifully written, edge-of-your-seat YA...

Animorphs Book 46: The Deception by K. A. Applegate

The Animorphs battle Visser Two and Ax risks his relationship with them in order to stop WWIII. This book is especially tense because it starts where 45 ended, and we don’t get a resolution on an inter-personal scale within this one.‬

I understand why Ax, why everyone, made the decisions they did, but I’m not sure how I feel about it. It was expedient, brutal, and ruthless, and maybe it’ll be okay, but I don’t think I could have done it, and I don’t think I wish I could.
