Melina Marchetta's Froi of the Exiles
Woof, I forgot that a lot of the plot of this one revolves around sexual assault/unwanted sexual contact (a princess who has to try and conceive a child to reverse a curse). So major warnings there. Otherwise, this is a solid second chapter of an interesting epic fantasy trilogy--lots of politics and action and newfound families and friends, and stubborn men dealing with their romantic feelings. I am sometimes more interested in the secondary characters in this one, but that's because Marchetta makes them so compelling!
