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.

I really enjoyed 'Godkiller' by Hannah Kaner.

Kissen, the main character isn't your typical "chosen one" hero. She’s a professional god killershe. She’s an amputee who uses a prosthetic leg, and Kaner writes this so authentically. She’s lived through some serious trauma (The first chapter is a dramatic and slightly traumatic ordeal) but she isn't broken. She’s capable, very grumpy and shows that being a strong woman doesn't mean you have to be perfect but is about keeping on going.
