Hey, im searching for a (character driven) fantasy book written by a female author with a female lead, who despite being strong doesnt loose her feminity over it. So absolutely no "not like the other girls" characters pls. I want a strong mc whos feminity is part of her, which she's proud of. The book also would preferably not be solely romantasy. I love love love interpersonal relationships in books a whole lot but i would prefer the romance not being the sole focus.

Nah psalm for the wild built is full middle of the road enby. I'm almost there but slightly on the masc end and it suited me perfectly to identify with the protagonist directly.

Thanks for sharing! It’s a thing I don’t quite understand but I enjoy reading about characters with different experiences. Books can be mirrors or windows
