Anything by Robin McKinley (especially Sunshine) and anything by Diane Duane (especially the Rihannsu series)

the Ring of Fire alternate history series that begins with 1632; it has a giant ensemble cast, including all kinds of women being awesome in all kinds of ways.

Artemis Fowl. Holly is a great character.

CHANUR series! Great female characters (who some from a society where women are in power, so their entire mental framework is different) and great sociopolitical scifi fare.

Timothy Zahn also tends to have good female characters--characterization as a whole isn't his strong suit, but doesn't seem to care if they're male or female, as long as they can do the job.

I'm reading Artemis Fowl right now. It starts strong, then slackens a bit at the battle scene, unfortunately.

But I do have to say he writes female characters quite well. Holly is the 2nd main character in the book, but even the minor female characters are memorable.

To my mind the first book is the most meh one, although it introduces things well enough...I liked the books more and more as they went on, although the last 2 or so were kinda meh again for me.

Ooh, thanks. I'd put the first book to one side when it got a bit boring, and read something else, but I'll definitely go back if it perks up. I have all the books so that's great to hear that they get better.

I really like the Butler's daughter so far. I'm looking forward to hearing more about her.

Artemis's mother jumped the shark rather early though. Believeable human relationships are not this writer's strong point. Ah well.
