The Harry Dresden books by Jim Butcher were highly recommended to me by numerous sources. \u00a0After finishing the available books for the Game of Thrones series, Storm Front was absolutely perfect.<\/p>\n
Where the Game of Thrones series was dark and sorrowful, Storm Front was light and hopeful.<\/p>\n
I liked the hero, even when the hero didn’t seem to like himself. \u00a0And he really was a hero and a stand-up guy, even as he berated himself for being less than a hero. \u00a0I liked that very much, because Harry’s attitude about the world and himself was believable. \u00a0I was on board from the get-go.<\/p>\n
Something I really enjoyed was the first-person presentation of the story. \u00a0It reminded me of how much I enjoy writing first-person. \u00a0It’s convinced me that that’s how I’m going to approach my NaNoWriMo project next month.<\/p>\n
The only thing I could say about Storm Front that might be construed as a negative was how short it felt. \u00a0During the week, I only listened to it during my commutes to and from work, and by the weekend, I was over halfway through it. \u00a0I enjoyed it so much, I wound up sitting in front of my computer part of the day today, listening to it while I played solitaire.<\/p>\n
I acquired Storm Front through audible, and it was read by James Marsters. \u00a0If you don’t recognize the name, he played Spike in the Buffy: The Vampire series. \u00a0He did a fantastic job.<\/p>\n
I’m looking forward to the next book. \u00a0If you haven’t read Storm Front, you should correct that serious oversight at your earliest convenience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
