A review by prairiephlox
Storm Front by Jim Butcher
4.0
My first Dresden novel. It is unfortunate because I saw the TV show before I ever read the books. The show was cancelled after only one season (not surprising, it was a great show imo, but there was little relational change between the characters), and it left so many unanswered questions. I thought to myself, I can get these answered by the book! Nope. Other than being based loosely in the same “world” that Butcher created, it’s not really the same.
Which is ok.
I usually don’t like urban fantasy, but I love the Dresden Files. I love the feel of the narrative, like a gritty detective story. I love the beat of Chicago. I love the characters, their flaws, their strengths. I love Harry Dresden. What a fantastic character. I love the darkness that its inside him, and the quirky sarcasm that he uses to deflect the danger of the world.
