I was hoping we could start compiling a list of urban fantasy novels with multicultural characters.

Here are a few that I can think of off the top of my head:

Daughter of the Sword (Fated Blades, #1) by Steve Bein Three Parts Dead (Craft Sequence #1) by Max Gladstone Shadow Blade (Shadowchasers, #1) by Seressia Glass Skinwalker (Jane Yellowrock, #1) by Faith Hunter Tempting Danger (World of the Lupi, #1) by Eileen Wilks Magic to the Bone (Allie Beckstrom, #1) by Devon Monk

The FountainPenDiva, Old school geek chick and lover of teddy bears (thefountainpendiva) | 1216 comments The first two books ROCKED MY WORLD!!! I bought both as e-books and in hardcover because they were just all kinds of AWESOME!

Check out Vampire Miami, Vampire LA and Vampire Redemption. The last book will be out next month. Filled with diverse characters and the heroine Selah is wonderfully complex.

I believe this may another one:

The Iron Duke (Iron Seas, #1) by Meljean Brook

And this one isn't necessarily UF, but its pretty good:

The Greyfriar (Vampire Empire, #1) by Clay Griffith


Paganalexandria  | 4065 comments I tried to read an L.A. Banks story a million years ago but couldn't get into it. In her defense, it was all out of series order, and I couldn't grasp the character relationships. Can a fan of PNR/UF tell me is this worth a shot again with the first book?

I'm not sure. If you're ever up to trying it again, let me know and I'll read it with you.

We can shoot for it sometime after the new year because I'm 1 1/2 books away from completing the challenge. LOL

According to this site, the third book in Max Gladstone's Craft series is called Full Fathom Five and this is the cover.


Since I bought the first book of the series, Three Parts Dead (Craft Sequence #1) by Max Gladstone at full price on the strength of the cover alone, I must say I am getting all kinds of feels from this one too.
