I also really enjoyed how Jim Butcher continues to slowly and methodically add to the understanding of the magic system. If you’re looking for what makes the Dresden files so great, you can start with Harry Dresden himself. I think Harry is a really compelling character and his continued growth through this book was really great to see as he struggles with relationships both professional and personal. Harry Dresden continues to manage a great balance between being hilariously snarky yet complex and layered. I think it’s had something to do with all the demons, ghosts, and human sacrifice.” Relationships hadn’t ever really worked for me.
Sometimes I look at it and feel like someone from a Dickens novel, standing outside in the cold and staring in at Christmas dinner. We also get more hints and clues about the White Council and various other factions within this world. I really enjoyed that part of the story as I felt that although I really enjoyed the first two, I needed more than just a serial detective series to stay invested. We learn a lot more about the vampire courts especially and the differences between the White and Red Courts. Grave Peril introduces more worldbuilding into the narrative that gives us a peek into a wider world. The first two books felt almost like prequel standalones, whereas Grave Peril felt like the 1st book in a story that is so much bigger than your typical urban fantasy. I now understand why many people say that you need to wait until at least book 3 to see what The Dresden Files can be. I have been loving reading my way through the Dresden Files and Grave Peril was no exception. “We have now left Reason and Sanity Junction. But why? And why do so many of the victims have ties to Harry? If Harry doesn’t figure it out soon, he could wind up a ghost himself. Someone – or something – is purposely stirring them up to wreak unearthly havoc. These ghosts are tormented, violent, and deadly. All over Chicago, ghosts are causing trouble – and not just of the door-slamming, boo-shouting variety. It comes with the territory when you’re the only professional wizard in the Chicago-area phone book.īut in all Harry’s years of supernatural sleuthing, he’s never faced anything like this: The spirit world has gone postal. Harry Dresden has faced some pretty terrifying foes during his career.
