Haven't read this book, but I'm all for more female power fantasy. I don't mind if they face some sexism, but it's practically a trope at this point and gets a little annoying to read. It's a trudge. I also am tired of "Mary Sue" type female fighters who have curves in all the right places and wear high heels and are ninja assassins (why are they never tanks?!) and all the boys love them in their cat suits. I really want to read more legit female power fantasy that isn't about looking sexy, it's about exerting herself, breaking a sweat, and being powerful and killing fucking dragons and shit and who cares if she looks pretty or not.

Unsolicited Book Rec: Jane Yellowrock series by Faith Hunter. Jane is atypical, has faults, gets freaky jumps in power, but isn't perfect. Faith writes great action. I can listen to her books (usually no shorter than 14 hours), and they just speed by. 10 full length novels now with many novellas and short stories.

I read the first Jane Yellowrock book and really enjoyed it for the most part, but ultimately I just couldn't handle the gory stuff and never read past the first book. Yes, I am a huge wimp.

That was one of the things that excited me about The Librarians TV show. A female tank! It was so great seeing her in action.

I'd recommend the comic Rat Queens. Caveat: The artist is a domestic abuser. They're currently in prison, so I hear, for savagely beating his wife. If you can separate the art from the artist Rat Queens is the exact comic for you.

Cant remember who it was, but I but I think it was someone on here who got me into the Kate Kane series, which is a pulp detective novel, urban fantasy twist, but featuring a lesbian. Just about all the characters are women except an incubus bouncer who doesn't say much, and a lunatic parody of Edward Cullen who she used to date before she realized she was gay. He hasn't moved on and its funny in a creepy pathetic stalker kinda way. Other than that, in fact even in that, and it's all power fantasy.

In the first book, Kate Daniels makes a point to mention how she only wears white tennis shoes she can move quickly and bleach the blood out of them after killing things because she's always getting covered in disgusting gore (and she really does throughout the series), I really liked that.
