Most of these are books I've read and really enjoyed. They tend to feature power struggles, dark themes, rational protagonists, or characters driven by self-interest. Some have heroines, and some don't. In the ones that do, the heroine gets relatively little page time. The protagonists are generally cold and ruthless. A book counts as having a heroine if the protagonist has feelings for a woman; if he doesn't, it counts as having no heroine.
