Jim Butcher – Brief Cases Audiobook

Wow – excellent collection of Harry Dresden short stories – all of them actually good. I’m so tired of collections of one excellent story, et cetera are fillers.

There is one brand-new narrative in the collection, and it knocks it out of the ballpark with a whole lot even more details on Harry’s Little girl Maggie and Computer Mouse. Jim Butcher has actually mentioned the suggestion of a juvenile book including Maggie as well as Computer mouse, and also if this is an examination – it passed – please write it!

The other short stories have shown up in other short story collections. See remark over, generally the Dresden tale was the highlight of the collection. And also certainly the collections were in hardcover!

However the high marks I give the anthology is greater than the tales themselves – Butcher also shares a little bit about his composing process and offers some context per of the tales, pulling back the drape as it were, to his work as a writer. For me, a follower of writing in general, this was pure gold.

For visitors who have actually read the Dresden collection, Butcher offers some context in terms of where in the tale arc each short story fits chronologically (for instance, “Bigfoot on Campus” occurs in between _ Turn Coat _ and _ Changes _.) I liked this, as it not just “expands” Harry Dresden, yet it likewise supplies some concept of what the personality depends on in between bigger occasions. An additional element of the short stories that I took pleasure in was the possibility he required to offer various narrative voices – Anastasia Luccio (in” A Fistful of Warlocks” and Waldo Butters in “Day One”).

By that I imply that of course, the personalities are compelling, however likewise that the casts in the books have personality, are developing it, or might remain in some color of gray much less – or even more – inhuman than you anticipate.

I do not have a viewpoint on whether a first time Butcher viewers would certainly take pleasure in these publications. I assume so, but have actually read the collection too long to be able to put myself in the mind of a brand-new viewers. Present fans will enjoy Brief Cases.

btw, the Codex Alera set is also excellent, though absolutely nothing can take the place of the Harry Dresden team and the consistent wit in the D. Data.
