Stormdancer
by Jay Kristoff
Adults and older teens would likely appreciate this steampunk-flavored story set in a heavily Japanese-influenced fantasy world (terminology, customs, weaponry all reflect Japanese history). Lots of action once you get through the first couple of chapters, lots of characters to keep track of (til many of them die at the end, some off page and others very quickly, mid-battle or with a emotion-filled death scene), and an ending that sets up reading the next volumes but doesn't leave readers hanging if they are only interested in reading the first volume.
Based on the first book I'd guess the remaining books will have lots of deaths, so don't get too attached to too many characters.
