Trudi Canavan's Priestess of the White
Well, this is a very interesting start to a series! It's set in a country ruled by five immortals chosen by the five gods; the newest (and youngest) is one of the POV characters, along with her childhood teacher (from a group of non-believers), her political advisor, a young man from a group of people that have wings, an immortal sorceress, and several others. I got a little nervous when the priestess started worrying about "saving the soul" of her friend/former teacher (I'm Jewish and Christians have tried this on me and it is very uncomfortable) but it seems pretty clear that's not how things are going to play out. Really interesting politics here, lots of opposing systems of gods and magic. Looking forward to seeing what happens next. A-.
