Finished reading: Cursed by Benedict Jacka
These books are always recommended for folks who keep re-reading the Dresden novels because nothing compares.
Indeed, nothing compares. The feel is mostly the same—urban wizard who has a day job sucked into shenanigans with mind-numbingly powerful creatures and/or artifacts alongside an ingénue apprentice—but despite Butcher’s ham-handed early novels, Jacka has work to do. I’ll probably keep reading, because if Jacka’s series improves at the rate Butcher did, it’ll be spectactular soon enough.
