The novels of the Dresden Files have become synonymous with action-packed urban fantasy and non-stop fun. Storm Front is Jim Butcher's first novel and introduces his most famous and popular character-Harry Dresden, wizard for hire.For his first case, Harry is called in to consult on a grisly double murder committed with the blackest of magic. At first, the less-than-solvent Harry's eyes light up with dollar signs. But where there's black magic, there's a black mage. Now, that black mage knows Harry's name. And things are about to get very...interesting.

Engaging and suspenseful first entry in the tales of the wizard-detective Harry Dresden. A page-turner in the style of old-time detective stories. Relies on an adolescent masculinity that is a bit off-putting, but I hear the series improves, and will give the next book a shot.
Mr Dresden keep us entertained from beginning to end with some wild but plot-worthy adventures.
This is a really tasty mix of fantasy, horror and detective genre that won't disappoint if you are looking for a fast-paced addictive serie with a touch of humor.

Very much enjoyed it.
Think I found a plot hole, but it didn't detract from the fun. Nice, fast moving adventure, and if you like wizards in modern times, this one is for you. Obviously.

Another great one in a great genre!
A satisfying read. Looking forward to more Harry Dresden stories.
I really liked the TV show (bad acting aside) and had high hopes for this series. And, you know, I'll probably keep reading it, but only when I can get the books for free. I get the sense that Butcher is a bit of a misogynist, or at least a much firmer believer in strong gender dichotomies than I am. His writing's also a bit choppy and cliched.
I'd use it for beach reads, or days when you want something really fluffy.
