We used to get a steady stream of content from Butcher, and books would come out almost once a year – until recently. įor those who aren’t followers of the series, Dresden is a huge ongoing urban fantasy with seventeen core novels under its belt, seven more planned, and a ton of spinoff content. However, despite the flaws, I would have still considered myself a fan of The Dresden Files … until I read Battle Ground. On the other hand, the series has a number of issues including the consistently poor treatment of female characters, the inconsistent quality of the books, and the fact that although Butcher does a great job combining all of the lore of the world, there often doesn’t feel like there is a lot of substance that he is adding. On one hand, Butcher has a special knack for melding lore that is modern, ancient, well-known, and obscure into a giant melting pot of exciting action that gets the blood pumping. Jim Butcher’s The Dresden Files has always been a complicated subject for me.
