Cool Codex Alera series . . .

You still have all the snarks and making fun of things that will make you smile even in the middle of horrible graphic scenes. The dialogues are always the best, IMHO.

Fair warning, maybe not suited for younger children as there is a good amount of graphic violence with blood and gore. It is fantastic if you like Dresden. I love both, some people like only one or the other due to content. If you ask me, Jim Butcher makes any content worth reading. Even his Spiderman novel was a good read (for me).
Yes, very much! And I totally agree with all the other stuff DT said as well (except that I've never read Jim's Spiderman novel)!
