Not sure if this has come up before, Kanin.

Always an interesting one though.

Ash - from Ash, a Secret History (Mary Gentle)

Hobbit

LOL....pleased you're enjoying it, Snake.

I'm 'not allowed' to mention any more about it... I did like it though! (If you're really bored, have a look through the old threads).

Hobbit

[saintjon]

Khory Bannefin from the Shadow War Trilogy.

Talann from Heroes Die. (turned out to be a damn good character)

[Erfael]

I did like it though!

Hobbit, didn't you go on and on for months about how awful Ash was? Now you're trying to deny all that and say you actually liked it? Likely story.

[Kanin]

I've noticed that there seems to be more female warriors in fantasy art, than fantasy fiction.

[ChrisW]

it makes the art interesting to look at. Who wants to stare at bulging biceps when you can look at bulging .........

Aviendha - WoT
Birgitte - WoT
Erikson's female warriors
Umm the main character in Moons fantasy books.

[Erfael]

What is Moons fantasy books?

[ChrisW]

The Deed of Paksenarrion(omnibus)

Sheepfarmer's Daughter (Deed of Paksenarrion, Book 1)
Divided Allegiance (The Deed of Paksenarrion, Book 2)
Oath of Gold (The Deed of Paksenarrion, Book 3)

Elizabeth Moon is the author. She writies scifi as well. Paksenarrion is the main character.

Cald, thanks for posting that. Do you like them? The amazon reviews are positive, but sometimes they're just wrong. Let me know what you think. Maybe I'll include that in my next order.

[ChrisW]

Well I enjoyed them and it was interesting to read about a female warrior. The world it set in a D&D setting though so that may put you off if you don't like that sort of thing.

I don't like female warriors, except Kitiara.

[Nimea]

Aargh, can't think of a lot of female warriors - and I mean real warriors.

But some: Tamir/Tobin from Hidden Warrior by Lynn Flewelling (she generally has some nice fighting women).
Ash. Brienne.

Kitiara is an interesting character, but not really a favourite of mine.

Want to know some more real female warrior. In cool armor, with a lot of weapons and not in any need to be rescued like 'a damsel in distress'.

Ah, yeah, someone mentioned Khory Bannefin. Yep, cool.
And you can cry havoc, but Elyn of Jord from McKiernan's 'Dragondoom'. Read it years ago but still think it is one of the good McKiernans.

allanon,
why don't you like female warriors?

Eowyn in LOTR.
simply cool - a shield maiden of Rohan - that rocks!
