The Weavers of Alamaxa by Hadeer Elsbai

The Weavers of Alamaxa by Hadeer Elsbai was amazing! It's the sequel to The Daughters of Izdihar (and the end of the duology), about people who can use elemental magic in an Egyptian-inspired world.

Something I really loved is that the first tome was more focused on activism for women's rights in front of the Alamaxan Parliament, while the second tome is more focused on actual fighting against the tyrannical royals of the neighbouring kingdom. Responses need to be balanced according to the scale of the issues.

There's major f/f, as well as a minor queer male character.
