Lesbian/WLW in fantasy/sci-fi/action/etc books

[Miss Mara]

Hello! I’m looking for actiony books that have a main or major character who is a lesbian or otherwise attracted to girls, and her romantic interest in women is shown without being a big plot point. Eg. The love interest of the female MC happens to be another woman, but the story is actually about witches. Or something along those lines. I love action packed novels with fighting and magic is a bonus too. So yeah! Thank you <3

Yes, probably the longstanding GR bug that does that. I wish they would fix it....I deleted the other two.

I think you might really like A Study in Honor by Claire O'Dell. I gave it 5-stars. It was absolutely fan-total-tastic! It's a little bit scary how such an amazing work of sci-fi dystopia could be so real. This could be the world of tomorrow, or even today, and that is not a good thing. Read it and you'll see what I mean. This author does a wonderful job of telling the horrors of war and the hard, to say the least, lives of soldiers who manage to survive to return to the civilian world. She also does a great job of telling the true story of bigotry and how those it is done against, be they African-American, female, homosexual, or all three, have to deal with this horrible injustice. And a great mystery/spy story too! It's awesome how this take on the Holmes and Watson has Watson be the star of the show. A must read on so many levels.

Nevernight - The heroine of this fantasy series seems to be bisexual (this becomes clearer in the second book), but her romantic relationships aren't the main focus of the story.

The Risen Empire - Space opera with a relationship between two female characters (one of whom comes from an all-female society) that is part of the plot, but the same-sex part of the relationship isn't treated as surprising.

Pandora's Star - Space opera with several lesbian or bisexual female characters (and gay/bisexual male characters as well).

Daughter of Mystery - Historical fantasy with a relationship between the two female protagonists that is important to but not the sole focus of the plot.
