Ok, we all have reasons to resonate with some characters/stories more than others. *continues fangirling for a few more minutes* But you know what, now that I have finally read the first 7 books of the Dresden Files (thus becoming a specialist on the topic), I can safely say… I like Alex Verus a LOT LOT LOOOOT better.ĮPIC MAGIC FIGHTS, POLITICS, COOL PLOT TWISTS, MAGIC EVERYWHERE, ONE LOVE-INTEREST, LONDON, PROTAGONIST IS A DIVINER AND IT’S AWESOME WHEN USED IN FIGHTS OR EVERYDAY LIFE, MAGIIIIIIIC!!!! Ok, ok, I know people keep comparing Alex Verus to Harry Dresden. I wonder how explaining these books to people would go? Enjoy! All images can be found with better resolution here: Warning!: This review contains the usual random fanart and pointless comics done by me. I've read all that are in print and look forward to the next which is due out soon. Yes, a series of books I'm glad I was introduced to, I really hope this series holds up. I will quite likely move them to the front/top of my 'to be read list', putting them right on the currently reading list when I receive them. As I said, I've already ordered the rest of the series that's in print. I can recommend this book wholeheartedly. He manages very well.and he tells a great story. Okay, that said what have we got here? WYou see Alex is a diviner.he can look down the various paths that events 'may take' based on decisions and actions taken by himself and those he interacts with. I have already ordered it (as the one I read came from the library) and the other two in the series that are in print.

Now, while I can't say I like this book 'as well as the Dresden books'.it is the closest I've found yet. None were nearly up to (in my opinion of course) Mr. I also kind of liked Aaronovitch's books. The Twenty Palaces series turned out to be pretty good.but their publisher dropped them. I was intro'd to Urban Fantasy by the Harry Dresden books and (frankly) since I found them I've been trying to find other UF books I like as well.
