==================================================================
1. This time around, I thought we'd talk all things Harry. Now that you know the whole package, what do you think about him? Do you believe he's a "good" wizard? What do you think people see when they soul gaze?

2. What do you think of the "Dresden universe"? Are you a fan of Dark Urban Fantasy?

3. Lastly, and most importantly, what did you think of the ending? Will  you be reading more of this series?

Discussion Post #1 - Storm Front by Jim Butcher



Discussion Post #1 is open for business!

As a reminder, this is to discuss chapters 1-9. If you've read beyond that, no problem! Just make sure that you keep spoilers to a minimum for anyone who is reading at pace. Let's discuss!

==================================================================

1. Several important characters are introduced in these chapters. Based only on the content in these chapters, how well does Harry seem to know/understand each of the following: Murphy, Marcone, Susan, Morgan?

2. How do you think Harry sees himself?

3. In these chapters we see the beginnings of one of Jim's favorite story-telling techniques, creating an ever-growing pile of ever-worsening problems to be resolved in an ever-shrinking, seemingly impossible time frame. How effective is that technique in building tension within the reading selection?

4. What do you think the following quote reveals about Harry?
"... just because you're paranoid doesn't mean there isn't an invisible demon about to eat your face."
