Is it necessary to start at the very beginning of the series? Cause I've wanted to get into that for a while now, but my library only has like 2 books from the middle....Toaster Hunter said:Dead Beat of the Dresden Files. Two words: Zombie T-rex
Actually, the whole series is like that.
It would help to start at the beginning. Each book is pretty self contained, but characters and events often reference other earlier books. There will be references to that "incident with the loup-garu", and unless you read book 2 (Fool Moon) you will have no idea what anyone is talking about. Also, early books establish the rules of magic and supernatural beings, which may not be explained in others.Lionsfan said:Is it necessary to start at the very beginning of the series?

These guys know what they are talking about. Every single book in The Dresden Files has made me go WOW. Plus it has Bob. I love Bob. It is my absolute favorite series ever. I would pick reading a Dresden book over playing any game any day. The same go's for Butchers other series Codex Alera. Very good seriesdragonswarrior said:That series is one of the best damn things that ever happened to the world...Toaster Hunter said:Dead Beat of the Dresden Files. Two words: Zombie T-rex

Is it necessary? Maybe not- you could enjoy the story of any of them (before number 12, changes) without having read the rest but you would not understand what half the characters are talking about. But you will want to start from the begining just because they are SOOOOO good. They are between £3 and £5 each off amazon so you could just get one a month.Lionsfan said:Is it necessary to start at the very beginning of the series?
