Surprisingly good read. I don't generally like long running series (ahem except for next weeks book) and generally find genre books tedious and repetetive with broad and often demeaning charcaterisations to move plot and stay the course.
But...
I actually really enjoyed this, self deprecating enough (instead of the omnipotent hero who always knows the exact everything), this one has enough self awareness to know and counter (most of the time) inherent social bias and occasional misogyny.
Charming, witty and irreverent in places, yet still true to it's roots and providing an exact delivery of 'what the reader wants' which is what these books are for.
I will probably read one or two more, though not the nearly twenty(?) or so that are in the series.
Harry Dresden has been on my 'must read' list for a while, and it doesn't matter that I dropped in on book 12(?) of the series. Only picked it up because the Library App featured it. Good call Auckland City's Libby...
