I love that through the course of the books the characters, not just Harry, all grow and change, getting stronger and stronger in a realistic way, as the stakes get higher and higher. There is never a "training montage" or "mystery potion" that gives a massive undeserved power boost. It's more like, they spend a book finding a mystery and 2 books later they find that the mystery actually sets a chain of actions in motion that 2 books later resolve in an ally teaching Dresden a trick that 2 books later becomes a weapon or a tool Dresden can actually use every now and again. I love seeing character going from small and innocent but curious and smart to adult independent and reliable, or from just your average un-assuming kind of wimpy but likable human, growing into this bad ass demi angel warrior having threesomes with werewolves xD. I know it's crazy (and the series is not the monkey male fantasy all the time) but there is just something soo cool to see character you like get stronger and stronger and defeating foes you only heard about being whispered at 10 books before. I think the world develops so well, that you end up even liking some of the recurring villains, so much so that when the story goes into a different direction and then like a year later when the story goes back to normal and Harry is chatting with a villain and they casually comment how he has been fighting one of Dresden's allies this whole time and the ally is now actually a dependable person instead of the jackass we know we kind of get "oh wow, I wonder what happened to make him change and grow" and then we actually eventually have a time to talk to that side character and he has all this complex things going on in his life because the world is not just about the main character and is alive and grows with him. That's how you end up feeling the world is real and the characters are likable.

I agree. The series is the best example I've found of a character ( and his companions, and enemies, and his obstacles ) leveling up over the course of the series, and done in such a way that it really feels reasonable. Also Jim has thus far kept from making Harry become over powered compared to his foes. I highly recommend the series to anyone that will listen to me.

If you absolutely hate book 1 or still don't like it after book 3, I think it's better to stop. If you're on the fence and are still not convinced by Dead Beat, then this series will never convince you.

The stand in pitched voices high that were usually low. Pitched voices low that were usually high. And her pronunciations were so far off some of the names were almost unrecognizable. Glover clearly either is a fan who had listened to the previous books or did his homework. His diction, cadence and pronunciation were all spot on. It was just the voice that was different. He did an excellent job.

The first two are supposed to be written by Billy with lots of discussions between him, Harry and Bob which manifests as scribbles in the margin, post it notes etc. Paranet Papers is written later, and is then written by Billy, Waldo Butters and Karrin Murphy, and also have such baneter between them, and basically takes place after the events of the book Changes.

It took me at least three books before I realized that there was a larger plot underneath the series. Had to go back and listen to the first three again to start to see the patterns. We were encouraged to listen to music or something where I worked to protect our ears. Spent a sizable chunk on Audible trying to catch up and then keep up with Dresden’s adventures.😂

A marvellous little video here. I greatly enjoyed it, all of it, even the silly graphics. Similar to Jim Butcher's sometimes childlike sense of humour. I recently used the Dresden files to introduce my wife to fantasy lit. It worked. She was immediately addicted, forcing me to buy all 17 of the novels so that she can read them all in order of publication. She says she isn't interested in the short stories. However, I am feel pretty certain that when she finishes Battle Ground, she will be chasing me out the door to get the short story collections. I will have to check out the audio versions via used book stores. We spend so much on books, going to expensive audio books would have us on the street.

If the two short story collections are *still* not enough, there are a few more on Butcher's website. There are also two more in separate anthologies, one from Toot's pov in "Heroic Hearts" and one from Mouse's pov in "Instinct: An Animal Rescuers Antholgy". Lastly, there is a DF novella: "The Law".

I never got why people are so upset by Harry's views on gender. He was raised by wizards who are literally centuries old. The fact that his views on gender are as up to date as they are is a miracle. And, the story itself hits Harry in the face with this repeatedly.

Warning for Chicago readers: If you're from Chicago, give Jim a few books to get to know the city. He got a lot of grief from Chicagoans for talking about midtown Chicago, although in fairness there is both a Midtown Athletic Club and a Hotel at Midtown. Later he refers to the area as Bucktown, which is actually on the map as an area, but growing up in Budlong Woods in the 1960s I never heard anyone mention Bucktown either. :-D

Until the parts about Marsters and the TV series, this was one of the best videos ever. I've been reading Dresden Files for 15 years, have all the novels, short stories and graphic novels, and have read all the microfiction online, and on every other points you've captured the essence of the series. Thank you!

I just started book 6 which begins with Harry rescuing puppies and having some difficulty finding a home for one of them. Please tell me this puppy becomes the large dog you spoke of in the end of the video.

if you really want to know the final line of book 6 is "Hey. Why did you get large-breed Puppy Chow?" so uh...come to your own conclusions

Love your overview of the series. Great job without any spoilers. So happy you didn't forget to mention Mister & Mouse. I wonder if you liked the Kate Daniels books?
