Fool Moon (Dresden Files)
“One of the most enjoyable marriages of the fantasy and mystery genres on the shelves,”(Cinescape) the Dresden Files have become synonymous with action-packed urban fantasy and nonstop fun. Fool Moon continues the adventures of Jim Butcher’s most famous—and infamous—reluctant hero…
You’d think there’d be a little more action for the only professional wizard listed in the Chicago phone book. But lately, Harry Dresden hasn’t been able to dredge up any kind of work: magical, mundane, or menial.
Just when it looks like he can’t afford his next meal, a murder comes along that requires his particular brand of supernatural expertise. There’s a brutally mutilated corpse, and monstrous animal markings at the scene. Not to mention that the killing took place on the night of a full moon. Harry knows exactly where this case is headed. Take three guesses—and the first two don’t count...

I enjoyed all the magic and werewolves in this a lot! However I think characters is where this book lacked a little, mainly Dresden and Murphy. Only because the not talking about what’s going on and going behind each other’s back is a little annoying. Dresden needs to drop a little of his knight in shining armor and let people in!
Dresden isn’t one who leads his own story. The plot moves his and caused his pessimistic thinking. I didn’t really enjoy it.
I would say a solid 4.5. I REALLY liked Murphy’s development in this book. I think we really got to know her better. I also really enjoyed learning more about Harry’s past and inner self. I will most definitely read the next one, and likely the entire series. But I just..wasn’t crazy about the werewolf vibes of this. I’m not crazy about werewolves and their cult following. I’d rather it be more exciting magic. However: to credit the author I did appreciate the noting of different “breeds” of werewolf. Made for quite the interesting twists.
We continue to learn more about the world of Dresden and we expand from Book 1's Red Court Vampires to include various types and breeds of werewolves! We follow along with Harry on a most dangerous case that would put the Tiger King docuseries to shame.
Fantastic read - I just can't get enough of this world!
