Jim Butcher will not move away from the first person perspective for this series. It is how he writes.
To be frank, the series as a whole is getting boring. Dresden encounters a problem, he gets some help, he is opposed by others, he learns new stuff, he becomes strong, he takes out the bad thing. Next book, same thing except a different enemy and things get more desperate. It has become far to formulaic and the first person perspective is only one of the problems, for me, with the series. Personally, I wish that Butcher would wrap the series up and start something new.
Codex Alera was very good and did not use the first person perspective. You got to know all of the characters better and he finished the series in 6 books.
