Urban fantasy escapism with plenty of action and mystery.
I'll be reading more of The Dresden Files as I've been reliably informed the series gets better.

2.5 leaning on a 2 stars.
Fool Moon raised the bar when it came to obnoxious moments, and it felt like they would never stop coming my way. The Harry-Murphy interactions felt clunky at best, and ultimately it's hard getting invested in whatever happens to Murphy.
I still want to know more about Harry though, and there were some good/intriguing moments.

I really enjoyed this book. I would say that it seemed a bit longer then the first, but just more book to enjoy. He lets you off easy in the first book but not in this book. Heavy stuff you just can't put down.

Fool Moon
3.5 Stars
The plot is action packed and exciting and the world building continues to develop with this installment focusing on the various types of wolf-shifters. There is a lot of information and detail that can be confusing at first, but it all makes sense by the end. One of the most compelling aspects of the storyline is that the distinctions between good an evil are not always clear and appearances can be deceiving.
Harry is a very likable protagonist and I enjoy his wit and sarcasm, particularly when he gets into sticky situations. Nonetheless, he has a tendency to come across as weak at times mainly because he is reactive rather than proactive. He waits for things to happen and copes with the fallout rather than seeking out clues and coming up with a workable plan. Moreover, his magic has a bad habit of failing him at precisely the moment he needs it most - what then is the point of his being a wizard?
The secondary characters are interesting bunch. Murphy is seriously annoyed with Harry after the events of Storm Front and while her attitude is understandable, it is disappointing that their friendship is in danger. Harry's relationship with Susan heats up in a completely different way and more details are provided about Elaine, a woman from Harry's past. It will be interesting to see how Harry's love life develops but I'm definitely a Harry/Murphy shipper.
All in all, an entertaining read and I look forward to getting some answers on who is out to get Harry.
