Larken said "the writing, character development and story only get better as the series progresses" and I agree entirely. Before the short-lived TV series I got interested in finding the books, but none were available in used book stores (which told me people were keeping them) (and this was before ebook popularity). In the library I found Drum Beat, which I think is about #7 in the series. It was great! Clever writing, engrossing story. So I bought all the books available at the time, in PBack form. The first few... eh... but okay, keep going. Butcher's writing abilities improve with each installment, and the stories are quite long and detailed. One gets one's money's worth with his stories. I haven't tried the Alera series, it's not quite my "thing".
