Read: The Left-Handed Booksellers of London (Garth Nix): Fairly standard urban fantasy based on British myth and legend, set in 1983 because London in that year has special significance to the author, with a punk art student protagonist and a genderqueer love interest. Doesn’t stretch the bounds of the genre, but I found it fairly charming.

Read: Uncanny Collateral (Brian McClellan): Modern urban fantasy in the seedy underworld of soul debt collectors. Part-troll bruiser protagonist in over his head with only a snarky magic item and a web of dodgy contacts to help him survive.

Words: check.
