Book Reviews of Jim Butcher Boxed Set (The Dresden Files, Books 1-3)
Book Review: An excellent introduction to the Dresden Files
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought these on a whim, having heard of some of the awesomeness of the Dresden Files from [...]. I was not disappointed! Includes the first three books in the Dresden Files (currently 12 books long), Storm Front, Fool Moon, and Grave Peril. The books are pretty fast-paced, lots of action, cultural references, snarkiness and usually one or two climatic magic and gun-slinging brawls.
In Storm Front, we meet protagonist Harry Dresden, private investigator wizard in Chicago investigating the supernatural, finding lost objects and people, and helping out Lieutenant Karrin Murphy of the Chicago PD's SI (special investigations) unit with weird cases. We also are introduced to girlfriend/reporter Susan Rodriguez, crime lord Marcone, Bob the Skull (an expy of Morte from Planescape), and Morgan and the White Council. In Fool Moon, we get every variety of werewolf possible as a series of grisly murders hit Chicago. Grave Peril really kicks off the rest of the series, introducing recurring characters Michael Carpenter, Knight of the Cross, and Thomas Raith, White Court vampire, as the beginning of a 10-book story arc with the Red Court of vampires.
While not my favorites in the series, (hence the 4 stars, it really picks up the pace with book 4, Summer Knight), these are a great introduction to the rich and detailed world of the Dresden Files. Highly recommended. The box set came with a pretty nifty poster as well!
