A review by slawler
Fool Moon by Jim Butcher

3.0

I've read enough reviews to expect Harry Dresden to be a cringey chauvinist with an over-developed hero complex. But I've also read that he's on a character development journey. And I'm enjoying the gritty Chicago backdrop for paranormal crimes and learning more about how the magic works.

Having the right expectations has really helped me frame my reading and enjoy the books. Despite the heavy themes, the writing seems more pulpy than gritty, helped by the self-absorbed and goofy protagonist, and the books read like a light thriller. This convoluted werewolf installment is right on theme.

And I hear the series gets better as it goes, so great!
