Fool Moon
Fool Moon | Jim Butcher
Business has been slow for professional wizard Harry Dresden, who hasn't been able to dredge up any kind of work, magical or mundane. But just when it looks like he can't afford his next meal, a murder comes along that requires his particular brand of supernatural expertise.

Fool Moon | Jim Butcher
post image

I have had an itch for an occult detective story lately. Book 2 in the Dresden Files finds Harry investigating a series of gruesome murders that are committed around a full moon. With some great action set pieces, witty banter & werewolf mythology this was largely a satisfying read. The juvenile reoccurring male gaze comments were grating; a defect that I have heard Butcher improves upon as the series progresses.

KathyWheeler The juvenile comments do improve but they‘re still occasionally annoying. I love this series, but I hate that aspect of it. 2mo
vivastory @KathyWheeler I'm glad to hear that. They were pretty prominent in this one. 2mo
andreadmw The juvenile comments get better but I do wish Butcher included more diversity. I love his books but I‘d like to see him write a female lead, include more diverse characters and have other relationships. 2mo
KathyWheeler @andreadmw I completely agree with you on this. 2mo

I want to like these…..it‘s not that I don‘t it‘s just they are a little lacking. I liked the first installment better.

Fortifiedbybooks The first book is definitely better, and the series gets better. This is my boyfriend's all-time fave series, and when he loaned me the first book he said to hold on until after the 3rd book, and he was right. and I'll be starting book 11 soon. 10mo

The second book in the Dresden Files series, this installment does not disappoint! Better and faster paced than the first book, this time Harry takes on werewolves of all kinds. A story focused on good vs evil, as long as you can figure out which is which. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 ❤️📚 #serieslove2023

So, this was a fun fantasy frolic, if a bit on the gory side — lots of graphic killing, so tw for that. Harry Dresden makes an interesting, contemporary wizard — magic with common sense, and a huge need to do good in the world but also pay the bills. The contrasts were sharp in this book, with the underlying theme of the battle between good and evil, specifically within the self. Who are we really, when the question is asked?

🎧 Title, good play on words. Book 2!

Time‘s passed since book 1. Murphy is avoiding him since the giant scorpions because internal affairs!

One of Marcone‘s men is killed horribly so Murphy gives in & calls Harry for help, story takes off from there.

FBI agents show up. People can change into werewolves at will. Including Harry.

FUN! I enjoyed the variety of werewolves & Marcone is a good character to oppose yet help Harry.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is book 2 in the series and I liked it better than book one. There was more character development and world building for one. Also, the pace of this one was better and I liked the story. 4⭐

I think I'm falling in like with the hot mess that is Harry Dresden!

James Marsters is great in this role and for me is the main reason that I'm looking at the rest of the series because he just works for me as this character. I cannot imagine another actor in this role so definitely looking for book 3 if nothing more than I get to listen to Marsters yet again.

EclecticBookLover He's awesome! 3y
Traci1 I've finished the series, or what there is so far, and I definitely prefer the audiobooks to the books. The last one I read in print, and it was just not the same (though I did hear Marsters in my head). 3y

Absolutely loved the second installment of the Dresden Files. It took me a long time to get into this book. It starts slower than the first but after coming back to it multiple times it clicked and I couldn‘t put it down! I absolutely love the characters Jim Butcher created and can‘t get enough of them! Already bought the next one!

My recommendation would be to skip Storm Front and go directly into this one. It recaps things well and it doesn‘t feel like you‘d be missing out on anything big. Fools Moon was a great installment but only a ⭐️⭐️⭐️. In the last half there were some f bombs and a brief sensual scene that‘s easily skipped. Wouldn‘t recc for a teenager to read this series tho.

It must be me! This series has a great reputation but I am just not feeling it. Have done the first two books by audiobook so might give it one more chance and do a physical read, perhaps just not working for me on audiobook format, some books don‘t. That aside what am I missing and what do others like about this series.? As I say, one more chance. 🤞

Susanita You‘re more generous than me. I read one and that was enough! 4y
Andrew65 @Susanita Sometimes too patient with books and series! You‘re approach is most probably better. 4y

Jovy I got hooked probably in book 4. Even so, I like Harry in small doses (I read one book a year) because it can sometimes feel repetitive. It does get better as you progress (deeper character, deeper plots). But not everybody feels the connection with Harry. That‘s ok! Too many books out there yes? 🙂 4y

I liked the book but I didn‘t love it. Werewolves. Alright cool. Been there, done that. What I liked was the tiny snippet we get into much bigger things being afoot. Something wicked this way comes is quite apt as Harry keeps having a pretty rough go of things and almost dying. It‘s for that I want to keep reading the series to see what‘s up. It‘s a good book and I adore Harry, but this one wasn‘t as good as the first to me.

This book is a BLAST. Audiobook is amazing too.
I adore Harry Dresden. Bus he does have flaws. I‘ll leave Murphy description of him, which I completely agree, right here:

“Dramatic death scene. Noble sacrifice, right? Tragically misunderstood? Hah! I understand you, buddy. You‘re such a pompous, arrogant, pretentious, chauvinistic, hopelessly old-fashioned, stupidly pigheaded . . .” 🤣

KathyWheeler I loved when she said that to Harry! It was so perfect. 😄 My husband and I just finished listening to this book and are on the next one now. James Marsters has become Harry Dresden to me; if they ever do another Dresden Files show, I want him to play Harry even though he‘s too old for him. 5y
pppooraikul @KathyWheeler Couldn‘t agree more! I‘d love to see that too. His narration is so Dresden. 🤣🤣 5y

Second in his Harry Dresden series, which mashes up hardboiled crime with fantasy in a most enjoyable way. Harry is a wise-cracking PI in the Chandler/Hammett tradition who also just happens to be Chicago's only wizard for hire. As the title indicates, this one is mainly concerned with werewolves. The first one in the series necessarily had to do a bit of scene-setting whereas this one gets right into things with a minimum of fuss. Tremendous fun.

I found him in a Dumpster one day when he was a kitten and he promptly adopted me.

Cats. Go figure.
