Grave Peril (The Dresden Files, #3)

Any sort of improvements over book 1 and 2 are wiped out by the gimmickiness of the plot. Harry is dying or on the verge of dying then gets saved by deus ex machina. It's to a comical level how often this is abused all throughout. I'll try book 4 and hope that Butcher finally strikes the perfect balance to take this series out of the average 3 star rating it has been so far.

"Jim Butcher's author's note about people saying book 3 is where the series takes off and that being true made me chuckle. Why was that necessary?"

"Can someone explain why book 3 is so much better than 1 and 2? It's literally the same story formula in every book. Is it because he has a sidekick and girlfriend now, so he's more relatable?"

"The story really picked up since my last update. I can see Jim Butcher weaving in some complexities and references to previous books, which he hasn't done previously."

"Harry is on the verge of dying/passing out the entire novel then someone or something saves him at the last second. Rinse and repeat."

Exactly. No 4 will be my last chance granted to this series.

Agreed. I couldn’t believe how bad book 2 was compared to book 1. That was the end of JB and his cliched main character (Clint Eastwood with a wand) for me.

The more I think about it the more I think book 3 might be the worst one so far.
