I'm so worried about season 3! When are they going to put that up on AppleTV for purchase? 😬

β€˜Wheel of Time’ Showrunner on Expanding Show’s Queer Universe in Season 3 and the High Fantasy Genre: β€œIt Was Worth Devoting My Life To” Rafe Judkins explains how LGBTQ+ inclusion in the book series inspired the Prime Video adaptation, talks exploring fantasy cultures without homophobia and the Aiel’s First-Sisters.

Indighost, this is incorrect information. The show is not made by a conservative mormon, it's made by a gay man who consciously focused on pulling in gay themes from the book.

The show isn't made by a conservative mormon. The show runner is an EX-mormon gay man, Rafe Judkins. And the show gets very gay. πŸ₯°
On the other hand, the last 3 books of the 14-book series was finished by a conservative Mormon named Brandon Sanderson, who publicly criticized the show. #WoTSkies

Also some mentions of how much cats like Aes Sedai (not just Marillin) and dogs don't.

Prime Video totally dropped the ball on The Wheel of Time and I'm still angry Time hasn't healed this wound. Months have passed since Amazon Prime Video inexcusably canceled The Wheel of Time, and I am still angry about it.

Yoon Ha Lee's Ninefox Gambit has some mathematical witchiness and plenty of queering. No deserts though.
Also Gideon the Ninth's has tons of gay space witchery by eBay of necromancy. But no robots, alas, just animated skeletons.
Ancillary Justice?

Guess that's why we have a million books out there for tastes of all kind. 😁 BlandoSando ain't for everyone. Grateful BS finished up WoT for us but I'll take RJ's writing over BS the Machine anyday. BS's characters are cardboard cutouts moving the plot along. Sniff. (& ducks for cover.)

you have enough others to root for, which bridges the reader gender gap. Newer books don't seem to have the as much of a problem with primary female MCs in epic fantasy (Trator Baru Cormorant, Mistborn, Priory of the Orange Tree, etc.).
But maybe it's not that... Pern did fine in the 90s. 3/3

The gender gap for readers probably tainted it more and slower down traction since it came out in the 90s. In the Wheel of Time, Rand is nominally the MC, but there are so many other characters who are just as important that if you don't care for him, 2/3

Daughter of the Empire is one of my very favorites. Maybe it's not as widely known because the MC is female and the other characters aren't really focused on enough the way side characters are in WoT/GoT etc so that everybody has a little bit of somebody else they can identify with? 1/2
