Butcher has added numerous dimensions to his world and consistently tied them together via his protagonist, and at this point, the potential for any number of great overarching plot lines has grown exponentially. In Storm Front and Fool Moon, Harry only really had to worry about one major force at work. Harry has to split his attention, his time, and his energy to fight multiple enemies at once - most of whom aren’t even remotely related to each other.And that’s what making each subsequent installment so much more exciting. Harry now has enemies coming from several directions, all of whom have different motivations, goals, and tactics. As with Summer Knight, Butcher allows the events of the previous books to continue interfering with Harry’s life even though the current installment’s focus is an entirely different subject. And not for one second does Butcher let you believe a single one of them won’t be showing up again in the future. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the fact that Butcher has been using the last few books to build a world where multi-mythos entities are destined to collide in an epic battle for the fate of the world. And who seems to have a new man in her life. Some days, it just doesn’t pay to get out of bed. Not to mention the return of Harry’s ex-girlfriend Susan, who’s still struggling with her semi-vampiric nature.
The Dresden Files have taken the genre of paranormal mystery to a new level of action, excitement, and hard-hitting magical muscle.
