I have not read any of the Fury series by Butcher. Is it any good? Do you recommend it?

It's not bad, although large parts of it are taken up by magically enhanced battles, duels, and sieges. After a while, I just started skimming/skipping those parts. It's a very fun world, and there are some good characters, though not quite Dresden-Files level of character fun. Also, it's definitely set in the epic fantasy mold, so, quite different from Dresden Files in that respect. I would say give it a try, but I would probably suggest library rather than book store, in case you find it's not your cup of tea at all.

I own the first book, somebody gave it to me, it just never appealed to me, so I never tried it, maybe I will, I think it's still under my bed, lol.

Haha, then it's probably worth digging out from under the bed to give it a shot. Really, the magic system is worth the price of admission for the first book, I feel, but I'm a geek for magic systems :)

I'm kind of a geek for magic systems too considering how many crazy RPG games I play on my various gaming systems, so perhaps I shall give it a try
