I feel like it has been a lifetime since I last wrote a review of a Jim Butcher book. Point of fact, it has been about five years since his last Dresden Files book was published. And looking back through my reviews here, it has been over a decade since I had one posted here. Allow me to give us a tour back into the world of Harry Dresden and his quest to do the right thing. This amazing journey is brought to you by the awesome folks at Ace Books. Without further ado, here is my take on Twelve Months: A Novel Of The Dresden Files.

So yeah, I’m a huge fan of the The Dresden Files in each and every incarnation it presents itself. But as much as I just cannot seem to get enough of title character, Harry Dresden, I am constantly surprised that his lack of forethought has yet to cost him his life. As a matter of fact, Jim Butcher’s The Dresden Files: Dog Men #4 is a perfect example of this. Harry just cannot seem to embrace the concept of thinking before acting.

Nothing makes me smile like reading something about my favorite wizard and private investigator, Harry Dresden. That’s why Jim Butcher’s The Dresden Files: Dog Men #2 is the first piece I am writing on this glorious first day of my vacation. But it gets even better. Senior White Council member Listens-To-Wind has joined forces with our beloved Chicagoan to look into some strange happenings in a small secluded town.

I told you it was coming in an article back in March. It’s been a long three months, but here we have it: Jim Butcher’s The Dresden Files: Dog Men #1. And before you start to ask, yes, it was totally worth the wait.

If you know anything about me at all, then you know I have been a Jim Butcher fan for years. Meeting him was one of the greatest things that ever happened as a bookstore manager and I have long been a supporter of all things Dresden Files. So the recent announcement that there was another comic book series coming is one worthy of shouting from the mountain tops. Yep, that’s right. A new series is coming this Summer from Dynamite Entertainment called The Dresden Files: Dog Men.
