This is an excerpt from a book review by Lois McMaster Bujold, on Goodreads:
"It reminded me a lot of The King of Attolia, a favorite, with a bit of Gormenghast thrown in, some steampunk, and maybe some Dragonlance. This melange is made to work through the headspace of the main and sole-viewpoint character, Maia, which is a pretty congenial place to be for 400 or so pages."
The book is The Goblin Emperor.
The squee is all me.
