Winterkeep by Kristin Cashore
4.0
I was nervous about the start of this one; it is much slower and harsher (dealing with a lot of child abuse - in a way that feels a LOT more personal than Leck's general abuse of everyone and everything), and I wasn't sure I was going to like Lovisa very much. I did, though.

Also, I love Quona.
SpoilerI knew anyone with that many cats couldn't actually be that terrible. She's just weird and awkward and cares a lot. Amazing.
