I've recently been reading Terry Pratchett's Tiffany Aching books - The Wee Free Men, Hat Full of Sky, Wintersmith, and I Shall Wear Midnight. His writing is quirky and witty. And Tiffany is a very strong female character.
I'd also recommend Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game, and Ender's Shadow (the whole Ender's Shadow series is great). Tricksters, political intrigue, action, mind games - they're some of my favorites next to the Queen's Thief series.
Rosemary Suttclif's The Eagle of the Ninth is also an excellent book. It's set in Roman times, and follows a soldier trying to discover what happened to his father's legion after his father and 5,000 men disappeared 20 years ago.
