What the critics say

Praise for the Dresden Files

“Think Buffy the Vampire Slayer starring Philip Marlowe.”—Entertainment Weekly

“Fans of Laurell K. Hamilton and Tanya Huff will love this series.”—Midwest Book Review

“Superlative.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“One of the most enjoyable marriages of the fantasy and mystery genres on the shelves.”—Cinescape

“Butcher...spins an excellent noirish detective yarn in a well-crafted, supernaturally-charged setting. The supporting cast is again fantastic, and Harry’s wit continues to fly in the face of a peril-fraught plot.”—Booklist (starred review)

“What’s not to like about this series?...It takes the best elements of urban fantasy, mixes it with some good old-fashioned noir mystery, tosses in a dash of romance and a lot of high-octane action, shakes, stirs, and serves.”—SF Site

“A tricky plot complete with against-the-clock pacing, firefights, explosions, and plenty of magic. Longtime series fans as well as newcomers drawn by the SciFi Channel’s TV series based on the novels should find this supernatural mystery a real winner.”—Library Journal

“What would you get if you crossed Spenser with Merlin? Probably you would come up with someone very like Harry Dresden, wizard, tough guy and star of [the Dresden Files].”—The Washington Times

This is an excellent collection of stories set in Harry Dresden's Chicago, including the first (non-canon by now) Dresden story, and two from the viewpoint of someone other than Harry.

After everything that happened in changes this was very refreshing. Felt strangely nostalgic like I was remembering the good times after a friend had passed away. Except for the last story though. That felt like it was rallying cry. As if it's saying it's not over yet, get ready for the next fight! Can't wait to see what comes next

This medium worked really well for the material. Nothing dragged and it gave the opportunity for butcher to show a bit of variety within his setting. This was better than many of the novels.
