Holly Lisle, Diplomacy of Wolves
Warner Aspect (1998) ISBN: 0-446-67395-1
Score: 2
Beginning of the Secret Texts trilogy, an epic high fantasy with lots of secrets, dirty politics, and betrayal. Good premise and worldbuilding; (you don't see many stories with werewolves in airships), and the good characters are well drawn (but the bad guys torture little girls to show you they're bad). A bit too much Fate and Destiny for my tastes, and I wish the heroine (who trained as a diplomat) was more suspicious of a certain character who keeps forgetting her cover story, but overall it's well written and engaging.
Next Book: Laura Resnick, Disappearing Nightly
