Didn't finish: Besieged - Rowena Cory Daniells. I feel like I was being slightly unfair to this book by not finishing it, because I got the impression (partly from reviews) that a lot of the stuff I found tiresome (one really sexist society! one gender essentialist society!) was going to be challenged, but it still wasn't fun to read about, and I didn't really like the characters. There are just too many good books to waste time on ones I don't like all that much, especially when they're the first in a giant trilogy, you know?
