Storm Front - Jim Butcher

This was an engrossing quick read - and it is the first book in a series! That makes me pretty happy.

Call this a cross between a fantasy book and a detective novel. Fantasy elements with a detective-y style. Harry Dresden's a mortal practising wizard in Chicago, trying to make a dime working as, well, a wizard PI kind of guy. Weird things happen in that line of work, and this book tells the tale.

It almost seems like a silly little book, both in size and subject, but it is refreshing in its novelty. Magic is everywhere, it seems.

I'm looking forward to reading the next instalment.
