Lots of great suggestions here.
One I haven't seen mentioned yet (though I could have missed it) is Scott Westerfeld's Succession series. It's only two volumes (The Risen Empire and The Killing of Worlds). It was originally intended as one large book but the publisher decided to split it due to its size.
The main female character is easily as important as the main male, and there are some other powerful female characters as well.
The first volume is available in both epub and kindle, but the second one, for some reason, is not (as far as I can tell) but the paperback is still in print.
I enjoyed it a lot. Plenty of reviews at amazon if you're curious.
