Rated Fool Moon 8/10

There was a marked difference in quality in "Fool Moon" over "Storm Front" immediately noticeable. Being a fan of authors doing this, it immediately jumped into the action and hooked me into the story. The description of locations and people were much improved as part of the rolling internal Dresden dialogue and exposition scenes were much less awkward/obvious. Dresden gets more fleshing out into the character he is for the remainder of the series and Murphy for sure gets a better treatment - eventually. This story throws in a lot more characters and plotlines and I don't really think they got lost or neglected. The twists and turns full of suspenseful danger kept coming so there weren't any dull moments. I would hope not with such a classic villain as werewolves, or whatever they're called! There was still a bit of the abrupt/rapid wrap up in the end I'm not too fond of, but a lot less was left to dump in there so that's improving. Overall a story I enjoyed a lot more. Oh! And more tiny hints of Dresden's background were dropped innocuously somewhere in the front to add to a couple in the last book. The running thread of who he is and where he came from really is a long, slow burn!
