Wizard for Hire
Today’s review is on The Dresden Files, which is an ongoing fantasy series by Jim Butcher. The series focuses on the main protagonist, Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden, modern-day Chicago’s only Professional Wizard. As Each novel progresses, Harry goes through what is normally called on televison cartoon series as monster of the week episodes, where he has to deal with rival practicioners, werewolves and other sorts of supernatural entities.
When i first saw the series, i was interested in the tagline on the back of the book.
HARRY DRESDEN — WIZARD
Lost Items Found. Paranormal Investigations. Consulting. Advice. Reasonable Rates.
No Love Potions, Endless Purses, Parties or Other Entertainment
As i started reading, the story lent an air of the old hard-bitten detective stories, while blending wth the fantasy world of magic and mystery, which did to no end, fuel my curiosity and interest. Chapter by Chapter, i found myself on occasion empathizing with Harry, as well as the humor that was often blended in for good measure.
Now moving on to the tenth installement of the series, Harry seems no less competent, or at least, lucky, in his everyday dealings and it seems that there is more to come. I will be eagerly awaiting the new release of Small Favour, the 10th installment of the Dresden Files.
Not much of a book reader, I just read the thirteen book of A Series Of Unfortunate Events. Kinda lame in the ending, I didn’t like how this one left me with questions about the “secrets” of their parents.
