Grenador asked this question about Storm Front (The Dresden Files, #1):

I heard that Dresden files is little slow and less deep in the starting books.Read the first book 2 yrs ago but just left it because it looked like any other urban fantasy.

I started on that one because the others from the collection I was borrowing from were loaned out/loaned out permanently and didn't feel like I missed out too bad on anything.

It's hard to really assess the series based on the first few books, Jim Butcher gets into his stride later on, it's okay to cut some slack for when he was still mastering his craft and developing his own style, once he does he kills it. (less)
