![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The uniqueness of the series is further enhanced by the menagerie of supernatural creatures that James includes throughout the series. While Fearless and the Pax Arcana series buys into many of the familiar tropes of its subgenre the laser-like focus on John himself, and his peculiar brand of self-awareness, lend the series a surprisingly different feel. John Charming’s past, particularly his having been on the run for so long, means that sense of place that for me is a strong part of the urban fantasy genre is instead refocused onto John himself and the home creates (or is trying to create) with the people he surrounds himself with. One of the things that I find interesting about this series over some other urban fantasies is that its setting is particularly unmoored. Fearless, is the third novel in the series and continues the series excellence. The Pax Arcana series by Elliott James is one my favorite recent additions to the urban fantasy scene.
