A Restoration of Faith - 3/5. Having the explanation behind this gives me a lot of hope, as an aspiring author. If this is how Harry and the entire series began, then Butcher has come a long way, and it has been an adventure to be along for the ride. We all have to start somewhere. Intro of Murphy too.
Vignette - 3/5. Short, sweet, and to the point. A great glimpse of Harry and Bob together.

A good collection of short stories that take place in the Dresden Files universe. I really enjoyed the stories in which Dresden wasn't the protagonist the most. I found the layout of the stories and their intros to be acceptable as well. The reason why Side Jobs only gets a 3* is the quality of most of the works were just okay, and nothing impressive.

This is a fun collection of short stories set in the Dresden universe. This is actually my second time reading it because I forgot I already owned it In Hardcover!
