Recs if you like City of Blades...

red tape but make it fantasy

Lady knights are great but they make you think historical and European. I’ll take woman warriors in just about any setting (but I might group gunslingers and brawlers separately for my own idiosyncratic purposes). Be warned the woman warrior might be a side character, but I promise they’ll have a significant role.

These are fantasy series that interrogate religion and the role that religion plays in society.
