James Butcher
« on: Yesterday at 01:12:28 AM »
Have any of you read his novels? I'm interested in something new and I'm wondering what you think.

Thanks!

Yeah, I read his two first novels and they are... fine? He went to the Jim Butcher school of making his protagonist a bit of a butt monkey, but in the case of Grimshaw Griswald Grimsby, he went a bit overboard and made him just pathetic in too many regards. While I definitely will get the third book of the series, coming out this month, so far the character hasn't convinced me yet that he is a worthy main protagonist, where Jim made Harry a bit pathetic, but a lot of interesting in one book and has kept improving the character even since.
