They do and they don’t. Depends on what you like about then. They get less “m’lady” creepy later on, but they also get increasingly convoluted. The series is also not finished and he’s taking longer and longer between books at this point.
So far I like the world, the magic. I like Dresden so far, in spite of the m’lady stuff. I’m expecting monster of the week mysteries with some over arching mystery. Like Buffy or Supernatural in book form.
I’m hoping the mystery payoff doesn’t suck or be too Scooby-Doo-esque when it’s solved.
I don’t remember the end of the first book off the top of my head, even though I re-read all the books last year. It’s definitely not the best one. Probably not the worst, either. All of the books are at least some good, dumb fun, if not high literature. And you pretty much nailed it: It is monster-of-the-week-with-overarching-plot-slowly-revealed. The monster of the week aspect is mostly phased out for the overarching stuff later on. The 18th book just came out. I should get on that while most of them are still fresh in my mind.
I just started this series! I’m halfway through Book 1. I’ve heard they get a ton better.
