Elizabeth C. Bunce's StarCrossed
This is the second book called Starcrossed I've read this year, and it was also a strong story, about a young thief girl who, while fleeing the local police types, ends up becoming a maid to a sweet royal type and gets caught up in a whole mess of intrigue. What I found refreshing about this fantasy book is that there is very little romance at all--it's all about politics and magic and secrets (the sequel came out this month and looks like it's much more of a traditional romance, alas). I love books with strong heroines and the world-building here is pretty solid, too. A-.
