yes, it is opinion, and i guess what i was looking for was some form of that phrase in the short paragraph i quoted and asked about.

yes, concerning alera, i think so too, and i also lamented the ending of the series.
but concerning dresden, this is a story arc encompasing his entire adult life, and there are a lot of stories within that lifespan. as long as his character keeps evolving and learning i'll continue to be interested.
