Oh, that means you didn't get to the part where he has to fight a demon naked, & the gal who bullied him into a date accidentally drinks a love potion and tries to get him to bang by literally grabbing him by the dick & saying "Your mouth says no but THIS says yes."

Or the part where the "cutesy" "hardass" police lieutenant who looked like she could have been a cheerleader cries at a crime scene because Dresden (who is now a suspect in the murders) won't tell her everything he's found out.

And you haven't met the bisexual sex addict prostitute who is "attractive, but not unduly so" WHATEVER THE HELL THAT MEANS but apparently it "revved [Dresden's] engines."

... I finished the book last week because I promised a friend I would & oh god do I regret it. If you want magic-user who helps the police solve murders & deals with the supernatural, read the early Anita Blake books instead; they came out the same year & are WAAAAAY better.

In absolute fairness to people who've read the series, the first few books are notably worse than the rest of the series.

The rest of the series still isn't great, and the same elements remain present, but Butcher does get better at disguising them.

NARYT but do you have a recommendation for a book to start with, then? I don't care about spoilers (and the first one seemed to start off in the middle of some plots anyway). I just want to see what the fuss is, since the concept seems interesting.

NAYRT, but Grave Peril, the 3rd book, is the usually recommended start point if you want to start off with the book that kicked off much of the series' running storylines.
