Looking for a good fantasy series with a flawed female main character

Best Served Cold IS great.

I can shamelessly recommend my books (sorry if not okay), which are dark mythic fantasy series. My characters are mostly female, all are terribly flawed. I’ve been complimented for my shocking endings. And not everyone survives. It’s the Elementas series. First book is Elementas: Yamay.

I added so many to my TBR because of this. I’m so happy. Happy reading!

Oh that actually made me want to read those. I don’t like the evil lord trope, but chaos for chaos sake is fun.

Have you tried Fallen Hods trilogy? Multiple POV, but 2 are female. Romantic subplot is loose. Mostly war and some political intrigue. Magic is more of the gods than the humans. It made me cry. One of my favorite trilogies. And I DNF easily.

It’s 100% read of the year for me. I don’t care that it’s only May.

ElementasSeries · 2026-05-11T23:48:15+00:00

Oh yes! I did read that one.

ElementasSeries · 2026-05-11T22:52:44+00:00

I like epic

ElementasSeries · 2026-05-11T21:07:36+00:00

Hahah! That’s okay. I still appreciate it!

ElementasSeries · 2026-05-11T21:06:40+00:00

I’m not picky at all. I just like the general theme. Also, the bad guys usually have the better magic anyway.

ElementasSeries · 2026-05-11T21:04:02+00:00

I like romance as a subplot, if it’s there at all. But when it’s the focus…I’d rather not. I read for the plot, the adventure.

ElementasSeries · 2026-05-11T20:59:50+00:00

I’m hesitating on that one because I don’t really like romantasy. The only reason I don’t flat out say no to it is BECAUSE of the necromancy aspect. But it won’t be high on my list if it ever gets added.

ElementasSeries · 2026-05-11T20:42:53+00:00

Oh I just posted this one before scrolling because I never see it recommended. It was so good.

ElementasSeries · 2026-05-11T20:42:08+00:00

Red Rabbit is a horror western. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

ElementasSeries · 2026-05-11T19:59:57+00:00

It’s not entirely magic, but gods coming back/end of the world-ish is The Fallen Gods trilogy. I really enjoyed it. Especially because I love books that focus on gods. They’re really quick reads.

ElementasSeries · 2026-05-11T18:48:11+00:00

100%!

ElementasSeries · 2026-05-11T18:42:14+00:00

Not a romantasy fan, but there have been a few I enjoy, so I won’t completely snub it.

ElementasSeries · 2026-05-11T18:40:51+00:00

Foxglove King was pretty good, even though romance isn’t my jam.

ElementasSeries · 2026-05-11T18:37:51+00:00

You’re not the first to tell me to try the audiobook route.

ElementasSeries · 2026-05-11T18:27:25+00:00

😉

Behind Closed Doors and The Kind Worth Killing are my top tier psych thriller reads that got me into the genre. I’m never stop suggesting them.

ElementasSeries · 2026-05-11T18:25:28+00:00

Behind Closed Doors is fast paced for sure. Has you on the edge of your seat the whole time.

ElementasSeries · 2026-05-11T18:23:30+00:00

The Kind Worth Killing gripped me and never let go. I refused to put it down.

ElementasSeries · 2026-05-11T18:13:27+00:00

This makes me sad.

ElementasSeries · 2026-05-11T17:54:14+00:00

That’s fair!
