My problem is that it didn't make any sense. That one police detective kept using money from her meager budget to hire Dresden as a consultant, but then dismissing everything he said out of hand. Why did she even bother hiring him if she didn't have enough faith in his abilities to listen to him?

And then there was that one guy who was always trying to catch Dresden doing something wrong. Somehow he managed to pay close enough attention to Dresden to know every single time he did magic, yet somehow not close enough attention to see the context.

Dresden also regularly excused his own chauvinism as "being a gentleman." I will never understand why these books are so popular.

Nerdy white dudes who wish they had a big staff, magical powers and a hot half vamp girlfriend. That's why they're popular.

Half vampire? I gave up on the series halfway through the third one*, so I guess I never got to her introduction. How does that work?

* I may have been able to stick it out if it weren't first person narration - I liked the world (aside from the wizards are techbane, which is one of my pet peeve tropes) and a couple of the other characters (Bob, Murphy)...but being stuck inside Dresden's head for the whole thing just was not for me. (Due to the aforementioned chauvinism and a general pompousness.)

NYART SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS

His human girlfriend Susan (the reporter) ends up getting captured by vampires that Harry is fighting and turned. However, since she's never drank human blood, (or something like that, it's been a while since I read the books) she doesn't fully turn - and won't as long as she never gives in to the temptation to drink from a human. She leaves and moves to South America or something to be with other, non murderous vampires to prevent herself from fully transforming. She and Harry kinda end up having a bittersweet on again off again thing.

Thanks. See, this is the kind of worldbuilding that kind of makes me wish that Harry (and Butcher, apparently) was less insufferable.
