It's formulaic no doubt but I think the characters are getting more and more interesting over each book and he does make sure that each volume has a real climax whereas with the Southern Vampire series they are getting more and more boring and you finish it wondering whether you were missing a few chapters or if nothing really happened on purpose. I am not giving the Dresden series four or five stars by any means but around book 5 I think it became deserving of threes.
