Oh this is amazing. Thank you for making this! We're just missing Holy Wrath and The Isle in the Silver Sea!

Aw thank you! I actually made a full youtube video as well for people who want resources! :)
love this list! i have just one rec off the top of my head; Devon from The Book Eaters by Sunyi Dean is a butch FMC
oh and Viv from Legends & Lattes
I knew I was forgetting someone! Thank you, I'm always adding to my list!
omg yesss love this. if you're open to suggestions, Galva from The Daughters' War (she's the main character/pov there) and The Blacktongue Thief (main secondary character) would fit!
Thank you! I’m always updating the list!
Some recommendations: What the Woods Took - YA horror/speculative fiction A Dark and Drowning Tide - academic fantasy
(Also excellent list, I’m always looking for more books with butch characters)
Thank you! I am always working on this list 😊
Oh also! The Bone Spindle - ya fantasy with the secondary romance being butch/fem
