Gareth is sure he’ll get superpowers one day, but for now, they’re just lost in transit. Until they arrive, he might as well write about the ones he hopes are coming.

He has been reading fantasy stories for nearly twenty years and is always looking for something new. Therefore, his goal is to write books about things he’s never seen before.

So if you fancy something a little different, give this book a try.

If anything I have too many ideas to contend with and have to fight myself for which one to put down.

However, as a golden rule whenever I'm struggling with anything writing related, I find that just writing down anything helps, as the process of writing gets the creative juices flowing and often leads to the answers I'm seeking. (less)

After a half decade wait, we're finally back with another book in the Dresden Files. The question of course is, was it worth the wait?

There's no depth to be found in this story. The characters are one-dimensional, the world-building is almost non-existent, and the plot reads like a list of events rather than a cohesive narrative.

This book reads like what it is, a collection of articles... not a book. Even in non-fiction books, I hope for some kind of overarching narrative to draw me in, and at least a story with a clear beginning, middle, and end of some kind.
