Midnight Riot

I picked this one up because so many people said that if you like the Dresden Files, then you'll like the Peter Grant series as well. Now having read through it I certainly see the parallels, but I think I still enjoy the Dresden Files much more. Not to say I disliked this one in any way, I appreciated the London setting, the viewpoint from a coppers standpoint and the creative magic system that includes ghosts, vampires and magical beings in a new light. Though there is some humor, it isn't as prevalent as the Dresden series, and I found Peter Grant likable, but I didn't fall quite as in love with him as I did with Harry. Both series unfortunately tend to talk way too much about women's boobs and hips, something I could do with a little less of, but at least it isn't the focus. This first volume was interesting enough to keep me reading the series, I just hope you get to see a little more of Peter Grant's character come out in further volumes, I'd like to know more about him and less about just what he's thinking in the situation. Still well worth a read, but hoping for more in future volumes.
