I really enjoyed this book, despite its occasional overdramaticism. It had some really memorable quotes, and I will definetly be reading the rest. I confess that I watched the TV show first, but the book is obviously and entirely better. (  ) et.carole | Jan 21, 2022 |  It's my second time listening to this audiobook. It's a great introduction to Dresden's world. We get shown the basics as the story progresses and yet, it leaves enough out to make you want to learn more about the White Council, wizards and other creatures to come back for another book. The particular mystery concerning this book was great too. Upon rereading I can see all the little clues and foreshadowing and it still holds up great. Last, but not least, I love Marsters narration. I could listen to him read books all day long and I wouldn't get bored or tired. He really brings Harry to life. (  ) Nannus | Jan 17, 2022 | It's an interesting story with some charismatic characters. Was it mindblowing? No, but it kept me company while I was doing stuff, so that's that. Can't say I enjoyed many of the characters, some are written to be disliked and that is quite obvious, others are written to be liked or sympathetic and I found myself disliking them all the same. So, if you want a fun ride on the urban fantasy bus, this one satisfies. (  ) MissAlandra | Jan 17, 2022 | this book is ok, not like super duper, just ok. this is another book that reminds me of Discworld's Watch series, because again, its a sort of cop on a fantasy setting, well a private investigator... so yeah, its fun, its ok, its a good entry point to a serie :) lets hope the other books are ok too :D ( ) GridCube | Jan 17, 2022 | I watched the tv adaptation of this series years ago and enjoyed it, so when I heard this book recommended for its audiobook narration I figured it was time for me to check it out. Unfortunately it did not stand up to my expectations, making this one of those rare exceptions where the movie (or in this case tv show) actually is better than the book. The story was interesting enough and I liked the magic system and mythology in place within the book, and I dont have any complaints about the audio narration, but the way the author describes and talks about women is pretty gross. Its not outright sexism in the "men are superior" sense, but the way women are continuously described in relation to their bodies and sexuality is objectifying and dehumanizing. Add to that the graphic deaths of multiple queer women and derogatory references to sex workers and Im outta there. I finished the book but will not be continuing the series.

 Storm Front's premise is pretty slim.. But Butcher makes it work, through a combination of interesting characters, tight plotting, and fresh, breezy writing. This is definitely not deep reading, but it is a whole lot of fun.
A modern-day mage and consultant to the police finds his stale life suddenly enlivened by the presence of a rival in the black arts. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
