Small Favor by Jim Butcher
Dresden Files #10
Ebook, 432 Pages
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
While Harry got his ass handed to him SEVERAL times, and just generally got the snot kicked out of him, the tone wasn’t as fatalistic as some of the previous books.
I enjoyed this, but not enough to reread or buy. So about on par with the others.
White Night
Dresden Files #9
by Jim Butcher
Ebook, 376 Pages
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Harry is stronger, badder and more kickass than he has ever been.
And we still get to hear lots of whining. But I do like that there are now more bad guy options.

Harry saves one of Michael’s kids and takes her on as an apprentice.
I felt like Harry is a complete idiot, and an arrogant one to boot. He always takes everything on his shoulders, without trying to spread the responsibility and then he whines and complains about how hard things are. He ALWAYS acts like he is the only one who can do anything. Well, he isn’t. And one man can’t do EVERYTHING! Get over yourself and your poor little pity party of the past.

Harry has to fight some necromancers. The White Court of Wizards is pretty much wiped out and Harry is made a Warder. Typical Dresden.
If you’ve liked the Dresden Files so far, nothing in this will turn you off. If you haven’t like them, but for some unknown reason have kept on reading [maybe some “friend” told you it gets better?], nothing in this will make you like it.
I am really glad I read the Codex Alera series by Butcher first, because if the Dresden Files were the only thing I had to judge him by, I’d probably never read anything by him again.

Harry goes to work as a bodyguard/investigator for a small time porn film producer. The White Court is involved, Harry finds out he has a half-brother and it looks like he and the female cop could end up hooking up.
Seemed to be much less angsty than the previous books, but maybe I just tuned it out better? Just seemed lighter and funnier overall.

Dresden gets into a major scrape in which the White Council wants his head, as does the Vampires AND both the Fairy Courts of Summer and Winter. He muddles through and survives.
Nothing really was exceptional about this at all.

a vengeful rogue wizard kills himself to turn himself into a ghost. He has help from the Vampire Court and they all go after Harry. Harry saves the night but starts a war between the White Council and the Vampire Court.
A main side character was some kind of Christian Knight Templar, and it really grated how he was used. He was powerful because he believed, not because of WHO he believed in.
I’ll read one or two more, but this just hits too close to home, with blasphemy and stuff, for me to really enjoy these.

in which we are introduced to Harry Dresden, a wizard who is a PI, who also helps out the cops.
In this story Harry takes down a big baddy wizard who is breaking the rules while himself under scrutiny from the White Council.
Palatable urban fantasy, but I prefer the Codex Alera series alot more.
