I have a hard time getting into fantasy in general, but the noir aspect of the Dresden Files is gritty enough to ensure I enjoyed reading through this one and will in fact be continuing.
Through the, at times *very*, cheesy writing I did enjoy the detective nature of the book and just how quaint a public wizard PI is. I like the nature of magic as presented here and want to learn even more about what’s lurking in the shadows that mortals can’t see.
In regards to mysteries, I find myself usually very bored with how predictable they can be, but the mix of so many unknowns, including magic, made this one more fun to relax into. I didn’t mind if I guessed something right and there were times when I didn’t.
Towards the end there, he ramped the feel of the writing up to an exciting pitch and I raced through the last third, unable to put it down.
