Test the uniform convergence of the series

$$\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{2^nx^{2^n-1}}{1+x^{2n}} $$

I have tried the tests listed in my book as well as the definitional method. Nothing seems to work. Need help/hint.

My work:

Using partial sum method

$S_n=\sum_{n=1}^n \frac{2^nx^{2^n-1}}{1+x^{2n}}= 1+\frac{2}{1+x^2}+\frac{4x^3}{1+x^4}+\frac{8x^7}{1+x^6}+\frac{16x^{15}}{1+x^8}+...+\frac{2^nx^{2^n-1}}{1+x^{2n}} $

How can I proceed from here?
