It's a sad, sad statement about the tropes of urban fantasy that Seanan McGuire's "No, I will not rape my characters. Ever." statement makes me want to Read All The Books. I mean, I was a casual fan before, but knowing that they'll be staying rape-free? This is actually a huge selling point for me.

I don't suppose anyone else wants to recommend any other good rape-free modern fantasy?

"Neverwhere" and "Nation", Neil Gaiman. (the latter is for young adults, but very readable for grownups too)

I've read Neverwhere (I think... it's been a really long time, though) but not Nation. It's added to my list, thanks!

It's up there in selling points for me too. I feel like I should start making notes when I read fantasy. "No rape? Gold star!"

heh. Maybe I should start adding a rape index to my fantasy book reviews. :P
