Dresden Files

Ghost story feels bad because it is a major deviation from Dresdens power increase and character development. It is like he let us down and you feel as powerless as he is in ghost form. From a story point of view it is one giant cliffhanger and again just feels bad.

As the reader you know he's not dead so a lot of the tension doesn't exist. The challenges are more frustrating than compelling. Harry's struggling to do things and I just want things to move along. You're going to be alive at the end of the book so let's get it in gear. The initial release of the audiobook doesn't have James Marsters doing the reading further impairing the experience. The Star Trek themed mind battle with Molly I loathed.

I've only ever given it the one go. I'm somewhat curious how I'll feel about it a second time.

I enjoyed this series through Skin Game, but the two parter had too much Neil Gaiman creepiness in it. His second Aeronauts book had it as well.

Why can't authors keep their gross sexual fetishes out of books about wizards and elves?

Also, Harry has become a straight up villain and it's been more and more obvious for several books now. If there was a plan for him to meet his "evil twin" in mirror mirror and realize he was the villain it would salvage the character for me. Doubt that's the plan though.

Fuck yeah a proper bump.

Looking forward to this for sure. Been too long and really want to see the fall out from the big death in the last book. Which I am still kinda pissed about.
