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've read most of these, plus the Soldier Son trilogy. She's writing more? Fantastic! I've loved all of her books. Robin Hobb is easily one of my favorite authors.
