a high 3.5

i didn’t really know what this book was about at all when i picked it up (i just saw 15 minutes of the beginning of jim butcher’s interview w daniel greene and really liked his vibe so i said “why not read it?”) but i’m glad i didn’t.

i don’t think this is really my go-to fantasy book but it worked! i enjoyed the tone, the writing style and the characters. i’m just giving it 3.5 now because i know this will grow to something more “wow” and because i didn’t love it. it was fun and it was cool but i need MORE.

and that’s why i’m continuing with the story! i heard nothing but great things about the other books in this series and i’m very interested to see where it goes. definitely wanting more magic history, more magic creatures appearing and more murphy from them!

anyways i recommend storm front a lot and hope that anyone that comes to read this (very unplanned) review feels the urge to pick it up!
