I'd recommend my trilogy but I'm not sure if you'd find my female protagonist quite strong enough. However, have you tried the Under the Never Sky trilogy by Veronica Rossi? It's a good one.
This series is Awesome! Also it has several strong female characters and no love triangle.
I'd like to recommend
. It's a great series and I think more people should read it. Also I'd recommend

"I've only read both Marissa Meyer books and Divergent and I second this recommendation. All three are wonderful books.
The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer Starstruck by Aliyaa Pathan
Divergent by Veronica Roth
The Truth About Forever by Sarah Dessen
Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo, told in multiple POVs but there are no love triangles

The Young Elites series and the Legend series both have wonderful female lead with minimal romance. (Both series written by Marie Lu.)
Twilight does not have a strong female character, and it has a love triangle.
Tamora PierceI love this author, she is wonderful, and she has several different series. I recommend the Protector of the Small series (the first book is First Test) and while later on there is some romance, she could not care less about love triangles or anything. One of the author's earlier series, Song of the Lionness Alanna: The First Adventure, is also amazing, although that one has a well-established love triangle and I'd give it a shot after taking a break from romance writing. Another is Trickster's Choice with minimal romance and Wild Magic with no romance, although it's the first in a series that later has a romance without a love triangle. I love this author because love triangles are not really her thing, and her books all feature female leads leading armies and becoming warriors, I recommend her heavily!
What I Thought Was True by Huntley Fitzpatrick
Eon: Rise of the Dragoneye (there's also a second book)

I'm so happy to see someone else who loves this series. I've read the first book, haven't gotten a chance to read the others but the dark twist and turns really tickled my fancy.
The Glass Arrow by Kristen Simmons. The Glass ArrowThe Shadow Queen by C.J. Redwine The Shadow Queen
Cruel Beauty by Rosamund Hodge Cruel Beauty

Yessss! I loved the whole series! I thought it got even better as the story unfolds, I hope you get to read the rest soon :)
I'm reading
right now and 2/3 of the way in I feel confident recommending this soooooo much!!!!!
I highly recommend The Queen of Blood by Sarah Best Durst! It has a strong female character and no love triangle whatsoever. The fantasy world is also very exciting - there are spirits (air, fire, water, ice, wood, and earth) which seek to destroy all humans, and only one person has the power to prevent them from completely taking over. I don't want to spoil it but it was much better than I thought it was going to be. It is very plot driven and there's not much emphasis on the romance. It's one of the best books I read this year. :)
One of my favorite female leads and no real love triangle! Actually, the romance is secondary to the plot which is very nice.
A Northern Light This is my ultimate strong female lead character. This also has very little romance, and a great story!

I second all of these recommendations, especially The Glass Arrow!
The Stalking Jack the Ripper series by Kerri Maniscalo a great one! Not sure if you have read it before?
Pretty much any series by Marie Lu. Legend is phenomenal with a strong female. The Young Elites is wonderful with an insanely strong female lead.
I enjoyed Rebel of the Sands by Alwyn Hamilton. Amani is a strong female character seeking to escape the female oppressed (and that's putting it lightly) region she lives in. Of course, the only way she can do that is by dressing/acting like a boy. She does meet a guy (no love triangle though...at least not in the first one.) She is a strong female character who is very likable.
six of crows by leigh bardugo is a blessing filled with fantastic female characters!! i am princess x by cherie priest is a really interesting and different one with no love triangle (not a ton of romance in this one) and some badass females.
the female of the species by mindy mcginnis, which im currently reading, so far has no love triangle and its a very thought-provoking and woke read, brings to light a lot of important issues and it has some seriously cool female characters.
You can try my debut Winds of the Forest
Its presently free on Amazon for a couple of days.
I would recommend Marie Lu's books and the upcoming Tomi Adeyemi's
I read an advanced copy and I can tell you it's so worth the pre-order.
Try the truth about peacock blue- highly recommended if you believe in equality!
The hate u give!! Really good and no love triangle

Try "Don't Turn Around (Detective Jennifer Knight #1)"
I'ld like to recommend my first novel Code Blue. I wrote it because I wanted a female protagonist who saved the world using her brain. There's a love interest but no love triangle. It's a YA eco-thriller about a not too distant future when climate change is worse than it is now. available on Amazon
I would suggest Daughter of Smoke and Bone. I would also suggest Stalking Jack the Ripper.
Hi! I'd be honored if you gave my newly published book a look. My female protagonist, Skye Van Bloem, is quite tough, and there is no love triangle. There are strong environmental themes, and a good bit of fun. Thanks for considering it! Countdown
Vampire Academy had a strong female character. It technically doesn't have a love triangle until the third book, but the books aren't really focused on the love triangle. Even though there's a love triangle, sort of, I highly recommend it.
My debut novel features a strong female protagonist who struggles against the thrall of an ancient magic. No love triangle, although there is a "best friend" who might become more in future books. WORSE THAN WICKED
