ok let's try to write down what I can.

Rules: No urban fantasy or Earth settings (top pick for that: The Seep, Chana Porter; The Salt Roads, Nalo Hopkinson; Danielle Cain series (The Lamb Will Slaughter the Lion), Margaret Killjoy). No short stories or anthologies. Bisexual WLW count as lesbian. Series are given in the format "Series Title series (Book #1 Title)", since often the book #1 title is more famous than the series.

Choice picks:
- Locked Tomb series (Gideon the Ninth)
- The Serpent Gates series (The Unspoken Name)
- The Tensorate series (The Black Tides of Heaven)
- Kushiel's Legacy series (Kushiel's Dart)
- Ascendant, a.k.a. Their Bright Ascendancy series (The Tiger's Daughter)

Honorable mention: Broken Earth (The Fifth Season), N.K. Jemisin. Not especially lesbian (NKJ is lowkey kinda fujo) but it has plenty of queer characters and it's just really, really good.

I like these too:
- This Gilded Abyss series (ibid.)
- Of Fire and Stars series (ibid.)
- The Roots of Chaos series (The Priory of the Orange Tree)
- Legends & Lattes series (ibid.)
- Girls Made of Snow and Glass
- Girl, Serpent, Thorn

Haven't read yet but I bet I'll like them:
- Daughters of Empty Throne series (The Sapling Cage)
- Magic of the Lost series (The Unbroken)

Didn't dislike them exactly but found it hard to follow in audiobook format:
- The Burning Kingdom series (The Jasmine Throne)
- The Witch's Heart

Urban fantasy:
- The Seep: Happy alien hivemind plugged all humans and capitalism is over! Yay the world is trippy and good now! Why am I still depressed?
- The Salt Roads: Lasirén, Mammy Water, rides the body of enslaved Black women accross time and space, giving them strenght, sharing their pain.
- Danielle Cain: Anarchist Scooby-Doo. Society is a fascist dystopia now but at least we get to squat abandoned cities and try out autonomous zon—hey what's up with the fucked up three-antlered deer?

Fantasy fantasy:
- Locked Tomb: Lesbian necromancer brings her shitposting swordswoman buff bodyguard, whom she hates and abuses, to the ancient haunted castle, where their obvious sapphic tension bursts during the tournament arc between the 9 schools of necromancy, each with their own colours and theme and flavours of swordsqueership, all in glory of the Warhammer 40K-like God-Emperor of course. But then there's murders! Can the necro divas and their duelists find out who is the killer before killing one another in elaborate gay drama? Or is it the monster? The monster in the abandoned underground biotech labs, obvs, below the haunted castle. In space. This is the first couple dozen pages of book #1. Then the fun stuff starts. Then it gets very plural. The writing is pure joy and fun, in direct contrast to the plot which is full of tragedy and gore. There's like 20 characters who are all my favourite character. Best books in human history.

- The Tensorate: Silkpunk in a world where children are raised gender-neutral until they pick a gender at coming-of-age. But what if you don't want to pick? We follow the twins: one becomes a prophet, the other a terrorist. Artful prose and narrative experiments, book #3 is epistolary, you'll have to reach #4 to get the villain-on-villain toxic F/F relationship told to you personally as the memories of this baddass old lady courtesan revolutionary but Gods is it worth the journey.

 - Kushiel's Legacy: I'm still on #1 of like 70 books, so my review is very partial but: exquisitely purple, old-fashioned fantasy erotica, like if newspaper stand smutty romance pulp was made for me in particular. The Christian God donated a bit of land (namely France), complete with a private little afterlife, as a sort of mercy refuge for Blessed Elua, the angel who fell for loving mortals too much. There Elua set up a society based on his absurd blasphemous notion of "love as thou wilt". (Critical support for Blessed Elua for his answer when God called him back home: he sliced his own wrist and told God to his face "there is no blood in Paradise. I bleed."). The first trilogy focus on a sacred courtesan named Phèdre nó Delaunay de Montrève, so you already know I would love this book; but then it expands gloriously into an entire Night Court with thirteen houses of sacred courtesans, each based on differing theological interpretations of why the sex goddess Naamah once offered her body to a king to save Elua's incarnation. Some of the Houses have pretty abstract themes ("creativy", "modesty"), or mundane goals ("wealth", "healing"), but our beloves are House Mandrake, which is for Dominance, and House Valerian, for Submission. The protagonist of the first trilogy is a natural masochist (an "anguissette"), marked visibly by a red speck on her eye. I'm waiting until I finish the series to be sure I vibe with the whole thing, but unless there's bad stuff in it, I'm 100% doing a House Mandrake "marquee" (tattoo) on myself. (And they picked the mandragora! How can I see this and not headcanon Alraune, eines lebenden Wesens, as a sadistic domme, which is basically subtext anyway? and by extension Alura Une from Castlevania? and by extension Alraune the plant gf from Yurivania?) (Though since the marques are defined as floral tattoos done on the nape of the neck between the shoulder blades, I guess my pombagira rose-and-trident is already my marque?  ...)

ugh the absolutely beautiful first edition of Alraune from 1911 can be found for 70€!! the 1916 edition for as low as 30€!! oh if I had money to spend, I'd burn it all in old books, and then I'd had no money to spend again, but lots of old books… uh sorry I wanted to describe all the novels I listed in the previous post, but I got distracted…
