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.
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.
