For some reason I was driven to try some female protag books lately, and I'd just like to pass on Magister Trilogy by Celia Friedman.

Multiperspective trilogy, so not really a female protag exclusively, but as far as dark fantasy goes I really, really enjoyed it. It's not grimdark, but it's serious and the plot escalates tension really well in each book with the stakes getting progressively higher. There's sex in it, but it's not gratuitous, and the latter two books have a sort of beastial conflict, and a primal sexual aspect to them that's hard to describe without spoilers, but I really appreciated the unique race of beasts that exists in that world.

So yeah, would recommend if anyone is looking to pick something up.
