I’ve tired of reading action books with male protagonists. Are there any action, thriller, sci-fi, fantasy or any high action books with a middle aged woman protagonist?
I’ve read The Adventure of Al Amina Sarif. While the character is decent, the plot could’ve been much better.
Any other suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Hold on you say character driven but then you ask for high action things? Which is your priority exactly?
Nettle & Bone by T Kingfisher; it’s about a middle aged (30s) nun trying to save her older sister.
How about these?

There are plenty of great female characters but being a BIPOC myself, I love what Andre Soares does for a better representation of black women in literature.
**The Sunflower Protocol** and **America is a Zoo** are prime examples of great character development (female protagonists) with solid plots.
Have you read Anne Tyler? Many of her books feature a mature women making changes in their lives.
