Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I saw that shirt at Comic-Con! At that booth, I guess it was.

Nifty! I've been waiting to post it since he announced the design ages ago - finally actual shirts are available - it immediately made me think of buffistas.

I would also recommend Dragon Bones and Dragon Blood, which are "traditional" fantasy.
While I enjoyed reading Dragon Bones and Dragon Blood, I feel I should mention that both books had enough rape, threat of rape, and previously raped characters (male and female) that I started wondering about the author.

I started wondering about the author.
That reminds me of starting the "Sword of Truth" series and starting to wonder about the author of that. It seemed to really go to a BDSM and rape place and I had to give up on the series.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The TV series had the same effect on me.

I had no idea there was a TV series. It seems improbable due to the aforementioned BDSM and rape, but apparently not.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is the series Legend of the Seeker?

Yes.

You would think.

Legend of the Seeker appeared in my "Recommended for you" insta-queue on Netflix. I guffawed loudly and clicked "NOT INTERESTED".
