Werewolves and Wizards, naturally a great combination, in any settings this should be a pulse pounding, never-ending fight, who does not love a werewolf, the natural enemy of the vampire and one of the most lethal supernatural opponent any do-gooder avoids!!! Wizards, by definition the only class or character that can actually go toe to toe with the supernatural!!!
Yet, with this book, I feel I just entered the twilight zone, the antagonists are great, what you would expect from persons afflicted with this particular curse(by reading the book, and on Mr. Dresden's universe, this curse comes in three forms and this was the only interesting part of the book for me), the protagonist or the hero of this book was a letdown, a whiner, wizards for me are supposed to be the ultimate class, in raw power nothing beats a wizard and yet we get a Dresden, someone who adheres to his version of the round table, the White Council, maybe I am used to wizards who do what they perceive as the best course and to hell with the consequences!!!! Dresden not only second guess himself most of the times, has a really really old school way of thinking and most of all, a hero who blames himself for everything, there is even a dream version wherein he talks to himself and try to defend his view............
I have never done a DNF, for me all authors have their good and bad moments, and as a fantasy book lover or enthusiast, we owe it to them to finish their works, but this one just made me WANT TO!!!!!
