Book Reviews of Storm Front (The Dresden Files, Book 1)
Book Review: Good Read - Well written
Summary: 4 Stars
I picked this series up at the suggestion of a friend and was pleased to find it an engaging read. Butcher tells a good tale, and his characters are well rounded and, like most of us, imperfect. The world he creates is mix of real world gritty - Chicago style - with a fairly traditional view of Faerie, and he manages to add the element of magic and wizardry well enough to be interesting. The characters operate in a world where the rules of humanity (The laws of the US and Illinois) and the rules of the universe (The traditional Faerie courts, for example) are often at odds, and so there is plenty of 'gray area' of legal vs. moral action to flesh out the adventures and give rise to tension.
I would recommend the series to lovers of fantasy who also appreciate the old school hard-boiled detective novels (Mike Hammer, anyone?), but would caution that the action is sometimes gory and is probably not intended for younger kids - high school or above would be my suggestion.
Summary of Storm Front (The Dresden Files, Book 1)
Harry Dresden--WizardLost items found. Paranormal investigations.
Consulting. Advice. Reasonable rates.
No Love Potions, Endless Purses, Parties, or Other Entertainment.
Harry Dresden is the best at what he does. Well, technically, he's the only at what he does. So when the Chicago P.D. has a case that transcends mortal creativity or capability, they come to him for answers. For the "everyday" world is actually full of strange and magical things--and most of them don't play too well with humans. That's where Harry comes in. Takes a wizard to catch a--well, whatever.
There's just one problem. Business, to put it mildly, stinks. So when the police bring him in to consult on a grisly double murder committed with black magic, Harry's seeing dollar signs. But where there's magic, there's a black mage behind it. And now that mage knows Harry's name. And that's when things start to get... interesting.
Magic. It can get a guy killed.
