I made an exception on it as it is only available as paper book. The reading experience was somewhat lacking - I was glad to switch back to my ereader after I was done.
And therein lies the reason why I've never read it!

Oh, very much so. Jim Butcher has a very unique writing style. Codex Alera is the same way. Think of it as Harry Dresden, except with a 3rd person view following different people. Exchange the scenery to a completely made up world, adjust the rules for the magic system. And it is basically the same. 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).
Thank you for the heads upon the violence. My crew is all teens now, with the twins turning 15 next month; and they're pretty good at knowing how much is too much for them. I'm glad to hear that the writing style is similar to Dresden.

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)!
Awesome!! Can't wait to read them.

Cool Donor Spotlight: Jim Butcher | Missouri Pit Bull Rescue


Donor Spotlight: Jim Butcher

September 23, 2015

We've surpassed the halfway mark of funding our new shelter and that is in no small part thanks to author and dog lover, Jim Butcher. Jim is the author of the Dresden Files, the Codex Alera, and a new steampunk series, the Cinder Spires. He has been a long-time supporter of Missouri Pit Bull Rescue and his generosity has saved the lives of hundreds of pit bulls.



Today we'd like to honor the passing of his dog, Frostbite Doomreaver McBane Butcher (Frost). Frost was small but ferocious. Jim even created a character in one of his novels based on what Frost most likely imagined himself to be.

Frostbite Doomreaver McBane Butcher is the honorary guardian of MPR dogs. A HUGE thank you to Jim and all who have donated in Frost's honor. Rest in peace, Frost. You will be missed.
