![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() These books, like the Dresden Files are fun, escapist reading. And I should have known because Butcher can flat out write! There's nothing groundbreaking, but in a way that's refreshing. They are good, not great (maybe as a whole they might venture close to that territory), but really quite good. But how many writers have tried to change genres only to fail miserably? Over the past 3 weeks I've gotten the first 5 books out of the library and have been surprised at how much I liked the series. Irrational? Maybe, but so few and far between are really good series that I didn't want to chance it. I didn't want to even try to get into them for fear that my opinion, so high off the Dresden Files, would be lowered and take some of the enjoyment out of Dresden. That being said, I always passed up this series at the bookstores, I would read the back, read the first page, then inevitably put it back down with serious reservations. I didn't begin to read this series until last month, even though I've been a Butcher fans since Storm Front was first published, own all the books and have read and re-read each at least 2 or 3 times. ![]()
