So if you're like me, you start reading that book, and almost immediately need to read a bunch of other books, because the main character has read them and how can I understand without reading them? I think I can resist a lot of them, and there's already a good amount of overlap but when she starts actually mentioning plot points from other books in ways that seem emotionally relevant is when I need to read them. So I can recommend the start of this book but am now reading Triton before I can get back to it.
If I were a very cruel person, I'd recommend Greer Gilman's Moonwise-- it surpasses the formal specifications (female author, main characters are two middle-aged women and two goddesses), but it's extremely referential we'd probably never see you again, and honestly, it's probably not particularly relevant to chaosmosis' quest.
However, I've started a reading group about it.
My book queue is already functionally infinite so adding another infinite to it doesn't really harm me :)
