The Dresden Files books continue...
... and I've now read Book 6.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
If the TV show was like this I'd be all over it like white on rice! WHY ISN'T THE TV SHOW LIKE THIS?
Hey,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
xparrot! You wanted to know whether you should read these books? Well, you should! Seriously, you should! Any book that starts out with the hero rescuing a box of puppies from a demon has got to be good ...
*laughs* I can just imagine Jim Butcher sitting around thinking of new ways to make Harry's life suck. "Aha, I've got it! He'll find out he's related to a nest of vampires!"
I can't believe they don't have Thomas on the show. I mean, really! SEX VAMPIRE! If ever there was a character who was designed to be on TV, it's Thomas! And yet he's not! What's up with that?
I don't suppose this will come as a huge shock to the 0.003% of people reading this journal who don't already know this, but I have a gigantic brother/best friend/surrogate family fetish. This books are finally starting to hit that fetish and hit it hard, and not just in the Thomas area. Murphy is ten kinds of awesome. And the whole Ebenezar thing ... *ow*. And have I mentioned that puppies melt me into a big girly mess? Especially demon-hunting puppies with cute little puppy growls ... *melts*
You know, I realized in this book that I'm actually okay with the idea of Murphy and Harry becoming a couple, if the books should happen to go that way. After Susan got vamped, I thought "Oh woe, don't have Harry fall for Murphy now" because I really like her as sort of a best friend/surrogate sister. But I realized in this book that if it does go that way, they'd still be good. I'm okay if it doesn't, and I love the idea of them being platonic friends until Murphy's old and gray, snarking each other through strings of failed love affairs (assuming he doesn't find a way to make it work with Susan). But I could also see them slipping slowly from friendship into love, still driving each other crazy in the very best way.
And there are so many plot threads hanging right now! Could Harry's life suck any worse? The vampire/wizard war, the cursed coin, the Walker, Mavra -- and he still owes two favors to the faery queen, doesn't he? AND he's got Shiro's sword (and all the attendant baggage that comes with it), AND there's Lara and all of that family just waiting in the wings to cause trouble, AND he's sort of made a quasi-enemy out of Ebenezar. Could he actually, just once, manage to deal with an old enemy without making two new ones in the process?
Of course I won't find out for a while, because dratted B&N doesn't have the rest of the series, so I'm going to have to order it online! Gah! The waiting! It burns!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
