In Storm Front other than the already mentioned "bad writing" there is that slight problem with subject matter. There is too much violence committed against regular humans with lots of detail. Sure, in later books there will be much more (quantitative) and worse (qualitative) violence, but for the most part it will be against non-human fantasy characters. Well, a little collateral damage, but not so much in detail any more as book 1. I liked the first book from the beginning - the so called clumsy writing is exactly how Harry is evolving. Throughout the books Harry learns a lot and the books reflect his thoughts and state of mind by how they are written. Later there will be a book that has a slight different style from the other books, but I attribute that to the different state of mind Harry is in. Some like it, some say it is not good in comparison. I say that it fits right in and is necessary to show how well Harry is able to remain functioning with limited power.
