The Dresden Files

The weakest three books in the series (IMO), Storm Front, Summer Knight, and Proven Guilty are still great books and would be the highlights of many lesser series.

Reading Skin Game right now lol

Skin Game was pretty good!

Bout to start it.

Pretty good all in all.

Lots of twists and turns.

The next book(#16) in the series "Peace Talks" is currently being worked on. It seems that Butcher has decided to go for the full 20. On his website there is now a tab under The Dresden Files 16-20.

"Parkour!"

He he. Thought this was one of the best Dresdens so far. Really liked the tension between all the members of the team, and loved the bigfoot / skinwalker characters. Was pretty cool to see Harry getting some respect from some serious players. Cool action sequences.

Glad to see a topic for this series, I truly love it. I think Butcher has especially been on a roll ever since "Changes".

Though I still have a nagging question from the book "Cold Days". In the beginning when the Winter Court all show up at an event where was Lea?

I've just finished Benedict Jacka's Alex Verus books and if I didn't know, I would have sworn it was just Jim Butcher just messing around with a British version of Harry Dresden set in London. I didn't like the character quite as much as Harry, but really there are a remarkable amount of similarities.

Anyway, it made me decide to re-read all the Dresden books again from the beginning and so far, I'm quite enjoying myself. I forgot how much fun the first few books were, before it got slightly more serious.

Wow this is taking a while.

I'm still waiting for the next book after "Skin Game".

Yeah Peace Talks is taking quite a while to come out. But then Butcher was busy with that other new Steampunk book series of his as well.

I still am curious why Lea was NOWHERE to be found in Cold Days, despite Mab holding some kind of winter court ball where all the winter fae attended, but no Lea?

You find out later.

I've gotten the impression that Lea is the Winter Court wildcard, she was probably handling something sensitive at the time and we'll find out later...or Butcher just didn't think about it.

I suppose, but I would think at least Harry would wonder where Lea was. I mean even Santa/Odin showed up. But he doesn't even think as to where Lea is, and remember it was said the ENTIRE winter court had to attend.
