What of War for the Oaks by Emma Bull? It never gets enough love, instead all the faerie lovers drool over Tithe...
Another great book is The King of Elfland's Daughter. It influenced Tolkien, Gaiman, and H.P. Lovecraft.
One last one: anything by Jacqueline Carey. She's maaaarvelous, especially her Kushiel's Dart series.
Okay I lied. Another good series is Silver Phoenix by Cindy Pon. I happen to know Cindy, she's such a sweetheart and has a very distinct writing style.
