Very Glad

When I read Summer Knight I thought the reason I didn't fall in love with it was the abundance of fairies.  And I think it was.  Because I really did enjoy, 5 stars worth, Death Masks.

I think it was the fairies....

I LOVE The Dresden Files.  And I am for sure going to read more in the series.  This one was only 4 of 5 stars for me and that is only because it was so heavy on the fairies. I thought that maybe it would be about Michael, because it is called Summer Knight and he's a knight and all, but no.  But I still really am looking forward to the next one!

Terrible Peril

Grave Peril was awesome!   I was so happy to finally get it!  I love this series to much and it just keeps getting better and better.  I especially love the character of Michael and wonder if faith will become a topic in future books.  Oh how I LOVE Bob!
Another thing that made me so grateful was that when Harry's Double was doing evil things, everyone saw that the double wasn't really Harry.  I would have been SO frustrated and also disappointed that Butcher had used such a common theme in a very uncommon series if it would have been one of those "we are all after Harry" thing of mistaken identity. 

Finally!

My hold on Fool Moon finally came through and I read it in one day.  I am so enjoying The Dresden Files.  I think that they are hilarious.  They have been around since 2000 and given the long list of holds for even the first few books, a lot of people feel the same way!  

When the first two books were written cellphones were around and used a lot, sure, but not in the way in which they are used today.  So I don't know if it was intentional that Butcher explains Dresden's lack of technology in such a brilliant and believable way!  I will definitely find out though, as I fully hope to read the whole series!  

Oh Wow!

My dear friend, Everett Hitch (okay, that is not her name, but we often pretend we are Virgil and Everett and she has taken great care over the years to render herself unable to find on the internet, with great success) recommended The Dresden Files  by Jim Butcher to me.  Storm Front is the first. 
Because we both love Robert B. Parker, Stuart Woods and Dean Kootz's Odd Thomas, I was very thankful for the recommendation.  There aren't any Stone-ish qualities to Harry, but there are qualities off all of the rest, especially Odd.  And wow, wow, wow, I am so excited to have a new series!  This is great!
