Summary: 3 Stars
The dust has barely settled from the events of Storm Front (The Dresden Files, Book 1), and our new favorite down on his luck wizard-for-hire is in big trouble again, this time from more werewolves than you can shake a stick (or in this case, blasting rod) at. Yes, Harry Dresden is at the center of yet another paranormal murder-mystery, this time surrounded by the mob, the FBI, the police, and a whole host of bloodthirsty werewolves.
Fool Moon may be just the second installment in Jim Butcher's Dresden Files series, but a few pages in I already feel like I'm slipping back into a worn and comfortable pair of shoes. That's partially due to the fact that this series has a strong Dennis Lehane meets J.K. Rowling vibe, and I've read and reread those authors' books to death. Still, there's something reliable about Harry Dresden. You know that no matter what life throws at him (and it's always a lot), he'll still come out the other side with his integrity (if nothing else) intact.
My only real complaint about Fool Moon is that it was so fast-paced and action packed that we really didn't get much in terms of character development aside from Harry's brief conversation with his subconscious, which reminded me greatly of the Lusiphur/Parintachin relationship in the late, great Drew Hayes' Poison Elves series (look it up, you'll thank me later). Still, it's early in the series, and I'm sure Butcher will further flesh out Harry's back story and supporting cast in future volumes.
I still think the Dresden Files series is closer to enjoyable escapist fare than a truly great series, but I can see it edging into that latter category. Either way, you can count me in for book three!
