Lois McMaster Bujold’s The Curse of Chalion
I’m still on my Bujold kick, and since I've never read the third book in this series, decided to start at the beginning. My recollections of this were vague, except that it had a lot of business with the gods (the same ones in the Penric and Desdemona books) and was satisfying. And both those things were true! Bujold is great at stories with political machinations, kicky heroines, weary dudes, wry saints, and a little bit of romance. Parts of this are a little unpleasant along the way (there are some rape threats, plus the titular curse), but the end just makes everything awesome. A-.
