REVIEW: Storm Front by Jim Butcher

Jim Butcher is the author of the bestselling urban fantasy series The Dresden Files. “Skin Game”, his latest addition, was nominated for a Hugo in the Best Novel category.
As much as I wanted to dive right into “Skin Game”, my chronological compulsion got the better of me and I was forced to start at the beginning of the series with “Storm Front”.
