I really liked Zarah the Windseeker. I can’t wait to read the sequel… and this reminded me to go and order it. Yay!

I also read Imaro and Imaro 2: The Quest for Cush.

Will you post some of the discussion, or a summary? I’m sorry to have missed it…

Zahrah the Windseeker by Nnedi Okorafor Mbachu is a good YA choice.

I just found this blog and it’s too bad because I would have enjoyed taking part in this discussion if I could have.

I have enjoyed speculative fiction for a long time but I haven’t read any fantasy written by non-white authors yet. I have read two SF novels by Samuel Delaney and think he’s one of the best I’ve ever found.

Try the Earthsea series, Bellatrix. =)

This is great, I’d love to see hear it went as well. Lately I’ve been searching for *good* fantasy novels that feature main characters of color. I came across Acacia a while back and I’m thinking about ordering it from Borders.com. I havent come across any other books so far. Even though i think it was pretty cool of JK to have many characters from a variety of backgrounds in Harry Potter, it would have been even better if one of them had a main role (like Ron or Hermione). Does anyone have any recommendations? :-)
