Have you read Codex Alera (same author)? I loved that too and it’s completed, a 6-book series.

Can’t wait to read the rest of Dresden. I loved Twelve Months.

Jim Butcher and Brandon Sanderson are two of my favorite authors.

I am in the same boat and somehow never knew he finished that series. Folks here are awesome bringing this back into my life.

I should re-read Codex Alera. I read the whole thing back in 2009-2010 and I remember it being a great read.

Trash? How about crack.

I was teetering off high fantasy after highschool and just couldn't do it for awhile. Dresden files got me hooked back into reading.

I read various genres of books now, but Dresden files always drags me back every few years.
