But here I am, reading book 4, and though I wince at a character being named "Injun Joe" (I tell myself the name seems to be written tongue-in-cheek, to mock/develop another character), I keep going. Then I come across the phrase "Canted Oriental eyes", and I'm done. There are plenty of other books and non-racist/sexist authors to be reading.

So many people have said about this series, "I didn't get into it until book 4 or 5" but I have been mostly enjoying the Dresden files, except for being a little perturbed by whiffs of sexism & misogyny, a red flag kind of feeling that I was trying to tamp down. For better or worse, I am not especially critical of sci-fi/fantasy writing when it comes to this aspect.
