Although the story takes place six months after the end of Storm Front, I do think that it worked great as a standalone. Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden has a new case to solve: The werewolves are here.įool Moon is the second book in The Dresden Files series by Jim Butcher. Every sentence was so delicious! I could just imagine him talking while chained to a bed and looking at me with smooky, delicious eyes. The best thing about this book was the audio by James Marsters' narration. Harry, maybe it's time to take up a drinking habit or something. Then he has to beat himself up if anyone gets hurt. Then he has to beat himself up for not solving the convoluted mystery quick enough. If Murphy has to whack him over the head and tell him one more time to let her take care of herself then I just might help her bury his ass.Īnd I like that Murphy is strong and capable but she's also stupid, she jumps to conclusions and is WAAAAAaaaaaayyyyy too trigger happy when it comes to doubting Harry.Īnd Harry never gets rightfully annoyed that Murphy is so willing to jump to the conclusion that he's a vicious, lying murderer every five seconds.

YOU'RE A CHAUVINIST! Every single woman in these books is either seen for sexual purposes, or is trying to get involved in things over her head, or needs to be taken care of by Harry. Harry gets the shit kicked out of him.Īlso, note to Harry: You're not chivalrous. Harry evades police capture and embarks on a suicide quest to clear his name and stop more murders from occurring. Murphy suddenly decides Harry is involved and likely a murderer and tries to arrest Harry. The plot follows roughly the same from last book. I'm almost wondering whether his subconscious is guiding him toward some kind of dramatic suicide which would make this novel more interesting if that were true.Īlthough, Dresden isn't the only infuriating character in this book. He has the most over-developed Hero complex of any protagonist I've ever read, to the point of ridiculous. Harry Dresden is a Wizard private eye who works largely with the Chicago police department's Special Investigations officer, Murphy. But Harry is seriously, seriously shitting me.

I promised to read until book seven, and I will. I've been told this series gets good at book three.
