Mmmm. If you like Kahlan, have you checked out Elizabeth Hayden's books? The names are escaping me, but I think of those in the same mindspace that I think of the Seeker books. And *totally* agree about Denna and Kahlan.

No, the name doesn't ring a bell. I'll have to take a look around.

The Seeker books are SO dense, that the show barely skims the surface, but I'm enjoying it anyway. Lots of kick ass, strong women characters that I can never get enough of!

Definitely worth checking out Haydon (I misspelled first time!). The main character is a woman there, and it's similarly 'epic' in type. One of the few "hero's journey" novels I can think up where the hero is a woman. The series (I think there are 5 or 6 of them so far) is sold under the fantasy genre, but it's damned close to fantasy romance inside epic fantasy structure.

Ooh, thank you for re-spelling! I added the first book to my TBR list. I'll check it out of the library on my next pass -- I'm in the mood for something new, and I haven't read any fantasy in a while. I prefer female protagonists, and they seem so few and far between. That's part of the reason I love Dark Fantasy and Paranormal Romance so much: most of the kick ass heroines are women. :D

Thank you for the rec!

Double-take. There's a show???? Holy cow. *runs to find*

OMG YES! Be warned though, it's much... simpler than the books. It's like the Sword of Truth meets Xena -- literally since the producers are the same. But the female characters don't lose any of their punch (again literally), Zed is awesome, and the Seeker ain't too hard on the eyes. ;)

I adore Xena, and Hulu has 'em! Thank you, thank you for leading me here. I'm traveling tons and tons, and let's just say that hotel TVs often leave much to be desired. Looks like I've got a full season + to look forward to!!

(and reading Gina Showalter now, btw)

I have to say, my entertainment life has improved a hundredfold since I got high speed internet. There is SO MUCH stuff out there to watch!
