The Mageworlds Series by Debra Doyle
If you like magic mixed with spaceships, multi-cultural exchanges, non-human characters, secret identifies, gender-fluid biromantic demisexuals, and wish the Jedi could get married... MAGEWORLDS is the series for you.
The Mageworlds series is everything Little Me wanted Star Wars to be, and everything Star Wars could never be because it was written by a misogynistic, racist old man who liked erasing and humiliating women.
Price Of The Stars
Starpilot's Grave
By Honor Betray'd

The Longhunt
FOR THE LOVE OF GOOD SCI-FI GO READ THE MAGEWORLDS SERIES. https://www.goodreads.com/series/53631-mageworlds
NOTE - Beka doesn’t identify as these things on the page because she the book was written in the 90′s. She switches between masculine and feminine pronouns fluidly, easily, and regularly throughout the first few books. She has a single lover who accepts being considered homosexual/bisexual without a blink is a pretty cannon-bi. Beka is written as having no sexual interest in anyone ever except for one person, which is pretty darn demisexual bordering on asexual.
Other fun things include: sex-positive talks about sex workers (and a sex worker as a main character in the 3rd book), magic in space, well-developed world-building, space pirates, women in positions of power.
