The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Anyone else... disappointed? [PT/BG spoilers]
Dina:
Not 25 books, but we are only in 16 (PT/BG would be one), and that is not much different than the whole Asimov arch iwith Foundation. It is different, though, because there is not a single main character.

On Butters, I reread my post, but I cannot figure out what you mean.

This by you.

Butter's threatened him if he did, and that was the point. Butters is a tough guy. Jim, for as much as he talks about it doesn't do sex. People are jarred by it because it is out of character. And you can't go anywhere with Butters along that line unless Harry gets in bed with him, the books are written in the first person.
I'm 67 and I've read a lot, I was hoping for something I haven't seen. Covid isn't helping.
@Dina
I read the Foundation Trilogy in my teens, I've peeked at the other books.

What bothers me about the two chick thing is it seems so out of character for him. It is like Jim is trying too hard to make Butters cool, and it falls flat. What makes Butters such a great character in my opinion is he is small and often scared for his body, but intellectually he is a hero. He takes stands for the truth, and does his best. The two chick thing is a distraction, maybe he has been hanging around Bob for too long? Sigh.... Polka will never die!

He’s turned Butters into the male hetero geek wish fulfillment character. I liked Butters much better as the sincere, smart, caring, and terrified character he was introduced as. I’d rather he stayed “vanilla” with Bob for help.

--- Quote ---I'm sure Jim will continue to be successful with or without my approval. But just out of curiosity could you name a series with 25 books that has an over arching back story? I'm currently bored to tears.

Only 14 books were written by Baum. Jim has upped the case count to 22 and stated that time travel won't happen till the last book before the BAT. That according to Reddit. Apparently from his video with Marsters.
