Pros: great world-building (and I kind of hate him for making it look so easy, not that I'm bitter or anything); terrific humor; good plot; strong characterization; lots of active female characters; wonderful denouement. Improvements: in the previous book, men were described in terms of what they di...
The second book of this series was SO much better than the first one! We get to see a bit more about Harry's background, there's some serious questions raised about his mother and father than I'm sure are going to be answered along the way. I really liked that the character is starting to gain mor...

He learns a valuable lesson about hi...
Alright! That's one Butcher listened and one Butcher read, I'm getting the hang of this series. Whoot! I don't think I did a review of Storm Front (The Dresden Files, Book 1) - Jim Butcher (goes to check...nope), but since I just ticked the "Read" box and this popped up I guess I'll do this a littl...
