Any specific issues with Dresden Files? Or just couldn't get into it?
Charles Stross' Laundry Files? They have been recommended to me and are on my wishlist. How were those?
I liked the first book in the Dresden files a lot, but by the third book found them very formulaic. During the third book it occurred to me that with this pacing, Dresden would probably start the fifth book dead, get gradually worse from there, but in the end prevail.
Charles Stross' Laundry files I liked a lot, the mix of real world spie agencies with ancient horrors really makes a nice stage with some great humor. I didn't read the "new management" books though, I started reading "dead lies dreaming" but put it aside after a few pages. I might return to it later, I'm not sure but something put me off about it the first time.
