3.0 out of 5 stars Preaching To The Converted, 20 Feb 2009
By J. J. O'neill "rotgut" (Warrington UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This review is from: Small Favor (Dresden Files) (Paperback)
This enjoyable and action packed fantasy novel is the tenth instalment in the popular "Dresden Files" series, meaning its hero, Harry Dresden, has comfortably outpaced his namesake wizard, Harry Potter, in the number of books he has had written about him, if not in the number of books sold.

This relatively long book will be snapped up by established fans but is unlikely to attract many new readers, a decent level of knowledge of previous entries in the series is assumed, and required, to appreciate this one. To a certain extent this is unavoidable, but other "Dresden" novels, e.g. "Dead Beat" have strong enough plots to overcome this need for previous knowledge and are good reads in their own right.

"Small Favour" does not have that strong a storyline and therefore can only really be read as part of the series. Read in that way, it doesn't really move the series on very far. Jim Butcher is clearly attached to his creations, and rightly so, but for the sake of building suspense if nothing else, he does need to start killing a few of the major continuing characters off.

It is odd that Butcher has abandoned the investigative aspect of these books, the idea of a wizardly Private Eye seems a perfect basis for an ongoing series of fantasy books, but the "Dresden Files" has drifted away from this basic idea and become more like a series about a fantasy war, fought between various powerful factions, Wizards, Vampires, Faeries etc. Personally I found these ideas worked better in the background, with our hero working in tandem with his mortal allies to investigate supernatural events in the real world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely brilliant!, 9 Sep 2008
I found and devoured this series within a few weeks. Each book gets better and better and any fan of fantasy/supernatural is missing out on a gem of a series by ignoring this. Witty, smart, entertaining and fast paced - The Dresden files is the ultimate urban fantasy series. Read it!
