The latest episode of JJK has me in a choke hold.
I like her emotionally devastating backstory, physical intimidation, themes of loss and regaining power.
Only caveat is the main character has to be a woman, bonus points for Sapphic.
Some books I've got on my shelf that may fit :
Sword of kaigen
Mistborn
Seven blades of black
Gideon the ninth (FAVORITE BOOK)
Any other suggestions?
