For the books, honestly, not great. It’s a fantasy series from the 90s with a magic system strongly based on a binary gender system. In relation to other fantasy series of the time, I’d say that it’s fairly progressive. A diverse cast of characters, but sexuality is rather repressed in general. The books got problems, y’all. But we love them anyway.

The show, as a product of the 2020s, is luckily more progressive. There is also strong representation within the fandom.
