Theirs also the Hellequin Chronicles

Yancy Lazarus and Hellequin is more like Dresden book 14 and 15. Action pact and has a lot of magic fights. If you want something more like the early Dresden with crime investigations and mysteries, try . the Rivers of London series by Ben Aaronavitch.

Hellequin seconded.
--- Quote from: Snark Knight on January 04, 2019, 01:42:34 AM ---Benedict Jacka's Alex Verus series is very similar in genre, if you haven't got there yet.
If you're flexible enough on genre to look to some SF, The Expanse is really good. 7 books and 3 seasons of the TV adaptation so far.

Verus seconded. Expanse... I enjoyed the first book, the second not as much, and found the show to be more entertaining (I sometimes struggle with too many textual viewpoints/protagonists)

Rivers of London seconded, although I haven't read the latest because the second to last felt like filler.
I'll also recommend the Mindspace series, although I think I've fallen behind.
KurtinStGeorge:
I'm about a third of the way through the latest Rivers of London book, and I'm liking it, so far.
I also recommend the Alex Verus series.
I put this in another thread. I figured the end of December it would be difficult for Jim to get much done because of the Holidays. I think around mid December it was announced that Jim had finished chapter 37 or 38. So if we assume the last week of December slowed him down, then he's writing at a pretty good pace. Jim has said that when conditions are right he can pump out 3 or 4 thousand words a day. I think he may finish in the next thirty to forty days. (OK maybe sixty days) However, a lot depends on the publishing process after that. Theoretically the book could be in our hands within three and a half months after that (Changes came out that fast), but realistically six to twelve months, with nine months being the average is more likely. I think we will get Peace Talks sometime in 2019, most likely late in the year.
