The Sacrifice by Kristine Kathryn Rusch
4.0
Long and spends an awful lot of time on setting the reader up for future volumes. Lots of action and even more plotting. A bit saggy around the 2/3 mark but hugely enjoyable and exciting. Predates a lot of recent fantasy in the strength of its worldbuilding and the rigor of its ideas as well as in the large cast, few of whom like or trust one another. Haven't read this in nearly a decade and am glad the Suck Fairy hasn't been by in that time.
