I just finished Storm Front. And I loved it!
I still have this other unfinished book on my reader, witch I planned to read next, but I'd rather start Fool Moon right away .

I finished my reread of Storm Front on Wednesday. I enjoyed it just as much this time as I did the first time around!!
I've decided to listen to The Iliad through the weekend and then start Fool Moon on Sunday or Monday.

Just finished Small Favor last night. Gave it four stars. Another great book, but

Spoiler:
Is it just me, or did some of Harry's dialog seem "off"? In one of his conversations with Sanya, he kept using the phrase "done you wrong" and for some reason it irked me beyond belief. There were a couple of other scenes that bothered me for similar reasons. Maybe it's just me.

Hmmmm.....I don't ever remember noticing that, so I guess I could say that it didn't bother me! Hmmmm....

Yeah, it's probably just me. I mean, it stands to reason that Jim Butcher would know Harry better than me, so...

I must admit that the phrase doesn't seem to sound like Harry, now that you've pointed it out, but it's not something I remember noticing when I read the book.

Soooo . . . I read "Restoration of Faith" and am well into Storm Front. I can't believe how many important people appear right away! It's fun rereading. Everything that happens and everyone I meet has a context they didn't the first time through.

Spoiler:
Given that Jim Butcher wrote it in college and was unable to sell it as a stand-alone short story, I expected "Restoration of Faith" to have a slightly different Harry and a slightly different world -- sort of a rough draft feel to it. But all the elements were there! The writing didn't flow as smoothly as it does in Storm Front (imho), but it was set in the recognizable Dresdenverse, complete with a pre-promotion Murphy in braids!

I agree with you, especially on your assessment of "Restoration of Faith".

I couldn't wait and started Fool Moon anyway. Poor The Iliad is up against some tough competition for my attention!

I had completely forgotten about the info concerning Harry's mother....well, both of his parents actually!! I hope we get to hear more about the soon (as in book 3 or 4).
