Restoration of Faith by Jim Butcher

3.0

adventurous lighthearted fast-paced

Plot or Character Driven: A mix

Strong character development: No

Loveable characters: Yes

Diverse cast of characters: No

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I was hoping for more background on how Harry became a wizard after starting Storm Front. I didn’t get that.

It has a heart warming ending in it’s way and illustrates how morally good Harry is, but it’s not very satisfying. The characters have very little backstory, the world building is weak. There is also a weird attitude about science that isn’t really explained.

I do like the idea of the wizard in the modern world dealing with all the vampire, zombie, troll tropes but I’m not sure this series is what I’m looking for.

Thank you to Mr Butcher for making this short story available for free on his website.
