The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers

Duopoly one if the worst “books” in the series-SPOILERS

<< < (4/10) > >>

Arjan:
Less battle. Jim can write good dialog too.

Thana†os:
aww you edited it. That's no fun :)

and I think he writes a pretty good balance of description/action/dialogue.

I have to admit, I teared up a bit for Murphy.
I got angry and threw the book against the wall when Susan got bitten. I left it there for a month before I picked it up and finished it.

So, I think he does a good job overall.

Not all of his books lately have had great editing, but I don't really fault him for that.

Arjan:
I liked that scene with Harry and Gard at the end mourning their lovers. Gard probably was right about Murphy but it still hurts. For her as well.

Actually rereading Heorot before Battle Ground came out, I thought Harry and Gard made an excellent combo.  I think her practical warrior woman attitude played well with Harry and what he is about to face.

gawime:
Don’t get me wrong...I’m glad to get Dresden back, especially after a long hiatus. There were some strong points to the story, especially Battle Ground. But Characters acting out of character and  dubious or incoherent plot points all took me out of the story. Rather than being immersed in Dresdens world, I was constantly booted out by the glaring flaws in the storytelling.
