I'm probably about a third of the way into the fourth Dresden Files book now, Summer Knight.
I enjoy the premise a lot but the second and third books were a bit, ehhhhh, so I am hoping it picks up a bit more now that it is established.
I don't think it helps that I am not super keen on the reader of these. He isn't bad by any means compared to some I have heard but the recording picks up a lot of mouth sounds in between which i find a bit off putting and he keeps pronouncing random words from time to time which shouldn't really annoy me but inevitably does.
My absolute pet hate is how so many readers on audiobooks seem to be unable to pronounce the word "wind" as in "he is going to wind her up" properly. So many pronounce it like wind in "the wind blows" and it is just the most basic thing that shouldn't annoy me but inevitably pisses me off massively.
Buuuuut anyway, book four, has started off strong enough to get me reinterested so here is hoping!
