The Tree of Swords and Jewels - C.J. Cherryh
Read the next one in the series because it's the one that Tester-San actually recommended. Didn't really enjoy it much. Although I've read a couple of C.J. Cherryh's SF novels, I've never really taken to her ... I think for the same reason I didn't like these two books. She plods along with vaguely interesting minutiae for about 85% of the book and then crams all of the actual plot into the last 15% ... and skips over what should be important details.
