Weird none of the people I know who like Dresden think there are no issues. We’ve got a running inside joke that Harry would suddenly stop in the middle of a big bad fight to explain how his magic interferes with electricity and his car an old blue Volkswagen known as the blue beetle. Full agreement that Dresden is a Mary Sue author insert (with the usually accompaniment of undue attention from any woman he encounters) and that the big climax felt less climactic than most of the individual books.

It’s just really fun (from when the writing becomes bearable) despite the many issues.

I couldn’t get into Malazan cause it felt like Black Company but with massive amounts of more distance to the characters.
