    Looking for a western Fantasy or High Fantasy with a Female MC who is attracted to other females. So basically I want a western yuri fantasy or high fantasy without too much focus on romance.

    Probably have a decent chance at one if you add in steampunk or mythical creature stories.

    You might enjoy Tanya Huff, but she does more standard romcom but has a gay or lesbian side character or two every so often.

    Eh I was kinda hoping to get a serious high fantasy story with an mc that just happened to be lesbian, if I wanted a romcom I would go with a generic japanese fantasy slice of life story...

    The second one seems pretty good, but the first one from the synopsis makes it seem like the main focus is romance.

    I've got an online webcomic with an original fantasy/robotics setting that might as well be yuri (very strong friendship actually):
    www.gunnerkrigg.com

    Also got a Korean manhwa in a Western fantasy setting where the most important relationship for the protagonist is with her (female) partner, though she also has a love male interest. Would that sort of work? ._. (to be fair, the friendship between Yvienne and Lariatte is one of the most beautiful ones I've come across, they're the perfect pair):
    Ciel~the Last Autumn Story

    Also got a manga set in a terraformed Mars made to look like Venice. The story centers around three girls training to become gondoliers, and they're together all the time, it's very relaxing to read:
    Aqua, and its sequel Aria

    ... yes, I've read more comics in the past than novels.

    I wouldn't take the synopsis of The Dragon's Lover at face value. There's a fair amount of time devoted to setting up the romance but there's still a lot of action especially in the the latter half of the book (might even start shifting to serious high fantasy before the half way point but it's been awhile since I read it).
    The latter half the book is a journey to the edge of the world to close a portal to the underworld by the hero's party with a meeting with an old elven shaman woman to bless them on their journey and everything... it's almost stereotypically high fantasy just with a lesbian protagonist... The second and third books are a bit more romance oriented (especially the third book and I haven't read the fourth book yet because of it) but the second still has a fair amount of action in the latter half as well.
