Top 5 Urban Fantasy Picks – March 2011

Wise Man’s Fear by Patrick Rothfuss, March 1, 2011.

Fans of “Name of the Wind” have had to wait a long time for “Wise Man’s Fear,” the follow-up novel, and I have a sneaking suspicion that we’re going to be in for a treat :-)

A Hundred Words for Hate by Thomas Sniegoski, March 1, 2011.

I am a huge fan of former Seraph and current detective, Remy Chandler, and his faithful dog, Marlowe, and this book promises to be another great adventure. Penguin Canada was kind enough to send me a copy, and I can’t wait to read it :-) If you’re a fan of the Dresden books or Simon R. Green, check this series out.

Demon Song by Cat Adams, March 1, 2011.

Let’s face it, the cover for this one is pretty stunning ;-) I enjoyed “Blood Song,” and hopefully “Demon Song” will prove to be just as entertaining, if not more. There’s also another book coming out in the series called “Siren Song” and it will be interesting to see what that one turns out like. :-)

River Marked (Mercy Thompson, Book 6) by Patricia Briggs, March 1, 2011.

Is it just me or does the chick on the cover look like Kristen Stewart? lol Another strong urban fantasy series, Mercy Thompson fans have been waiting eagerly for the newest volume in the coyote’s chronicles.

The Neon Court (Matthew Swift, Book 3) by Kate Griffin, March 24, 2011.

I enjoyed the first book in Griffin’s Matthew Swift series, “The Madness of Angels” and greatly enjoyed it. The similarities to “Neverwhere” by Neil Gaiman are apt, and the author has created a very likeable and delightfully snarky protagonist in the form of our magician, Matthew. Again, if you’re a fan of male-driven urban fantasy, especially Anton Strout and the Cal Leandros books, you’ll enjoy this one.

What are you eagerly awaiting in March, readers? Let me know! :-)

    I’ve had some of Thomas Sniegoski’s books on my TBR pile for some time. Maybe I should move him on up

      Hiya Jim, you really should! I can’t speak to his YA books and that whole “Fallen” series that they turned into a made for TV film but his adult Remy Chandler books are fantastic :-) Thanks for dropping by!
