A second dose of Dresden short fiction. A great balm during the wait for Peace Talks.

James Marsters doing a Minnesotan accent is something I didn't know I needed. That man needs to teach a class on accents.

This is a quick and easy story, wherein Dresden teaches a group of baby wizards all about the world of saving mortals from their own brand of peril. It's a classic story, wherein a teacher teaches, and we see flashbacks to a specific incident that showcases the lesson.

Both stories are interesting, and it's a fun supernatural villain. However, there is a twist involved that wasn't really fleshed out, which feels like a missed opportunity. I realize it's a short story and there's only so much room, but still. Disappointing.

A collection of mostly entertaining stories that actually fleshed out some of the characters and filled some of the plot holes from the main series.

Got this on Audible and it was really great listening to other characters' side stories. Finally getting to read Mouse's perspective was probably my favorite.
