Honestly, if I wasn't told that the Dresden File books get good, I wouldn't believe it after reading this. It's difficult to get through, filled with sexist overtones and waaaaay too horny for its own good. I have no problem with adult content, but when its presented in an immature way it's hard to not cringe. It gets better at the end, but definitely didn't do a good job selling me on this world or this character.
