Re: Fantasy/Urban Fantasy Recsssss, please!

[(Anonymous)]

Jim C. Hines' Princess series has...pretty much everything you're looking for, except maybe the happy ending at the end of the entire series...sort of.* There's a LGBT WoC [with other more minor characters who aren't white - particularly in the third book that's set in an African/Arabian inspired country], three very strong female leads, and aside from the last book they all have happy endings. The female leads are adults, two of which are mothers by the end of the series [one prior to it starting].

I will note that the back stories aren't always the happiest since they're based on the Grimm version of their respective fairy tales - but the series takes up after those are done so the descriptions aren't generally graphic.

*It's complicated, it's sad but it's got it's bright parts to the ending.

OP. Actually, Jim Hines was the guy I was kind of thinking of when I made the request. I've never read his stuff but it sounds promising. Should I just start at book 1 and go from there? Thanks for the rec, BTW.

Personally, I'd recommend starting there since they do refer to events that happen in earlier books later on, and it really sets the tone for the relationships between the three main characters.

DA

Seconding the rec for the Princesses series. Book 1 is The Stepsister Scheme.

You might also want to check out his new series, I think the first one's Libriomancer. It's not finished yet, so no guarantees of happy endings, and some bad things happen, but it's more on the hopeful side for urban fantasy. And it has the absolute best description/feel of what it's like to truly *love* books. Seriously, I want libriomancy to be a thing like you wouldn't believe.
