ETA: Just to clarify, the six book series in question is in the exact same genre as the "debut novel"

The Bechtel Test and other things

I was reading a rather interesting dissection of the urban fantasy genre by Carrie Vaughn (who wrote Kitty and the Midnight Hour amongst other things) and in item number #6 of her "When Things Go Wrong" list, she mentions the Bechtel Test.

Brief recap: the Bechtel test states that for a movie should have:

a) At least two women
b) Who talk to each other
c) About something other than men

( Discussion of the Bechdel Test beneath the cut. Enter if you dare. )
