Does anyone have recommendations for books about bad girls? Girls who are not nice? Who prioritize their survival over other people?
Because I was reading the opening of Keturah and Lord Death and when I got to the part (about four pages in, so not a spoiler) where Death tells the heroine that he’ll spare her if she names someone she’s prefer to die in her place and she’s like, ‘oh, no, I couldn’t possibly!’ and I’m like, ‘BOOM, DONE WITH YOU, POLLYANNA.’ It could have been anyone! It could have been someone she hated! Someone she barely new! Sweet jesus, I can think of five people who I’d be willing to trade for my life WITHIN THIRTY SECONDS.

Personally, when I want to read about BAMF girls, I get sucked back into RA Salvatore's Forgotten Realms Drow-specific novels. An entire society ruled by females, who worship a deity of chaos? His War of the Spider Queen series is particularly delicious. Quenthel Baenre is just awesome.
