Fool moon by jim butcher6/4/2023 There is also an amount of "deus ex machina" going on but the quality of the prose and the world weary dogged determination of the protagonist more than makes up for this. We do treat over familiar ground to a certain extent, for those of short memory or who haven't read the previous novel but this is fairly minimal. Not content to make this simply a "werewolf" novel, we are actually treated to four different kinds of werewolf each type explained much better than I would have expected. The author again manages to hit the nail on the head here, we've got a great plot, excellent continuity (which I do find important) and even more importantly we get to see the major characters develop and learn a few more snippets regarding Harry's intriguing past. I really do love this alternative reality urban fantasy that we were introduced to in Jim Butchers first novel Storm Front and we are again immersed into this rich world full of magic and magical creatures. A full moon, strange paw prints and a mutilated body doesn't take a genius to guess just what they are up against. Just when it looks like he can't even afford his next meal a murder comes along that requires his very particular expertise. Since we left Harry business has been pretty non-existant and he's been unable to find any kind of work at all mundane or magical. Fool Moon is the second book in the Dresden Files by Jim Butcher and once again we meet up with Chicago's only professional wizard and one of only a dozen of his power in the country.
