James Marsters doing a Minnesotan accent is something I didn't know I needed. That man needs to teach a class on accents.
This is a quick and easy story, wherein Dresden teaches a group of baby wizards all about the world of saving mortals from their own brand of peril. It's a classic story, wherein a teacher teaches, and we see flashbacks to a specific incident that showcases the lesson.
Both stories are interesting, and it's a fun supernatural villain. However, there is a twist involved that wasn't really fleshed out, which feels like a missed opportunity. I realize it's a short story and there's only so much room, but still. Disappointing.

A collection of mostly entertaining stories that actually fleshed out some of the characters and filled some of the plot holes from the main series.

Got this on Audible and it was really great listening to other characters' side stories. Finally getting to read Mouse's perspective was probably my favorite.

I don't usually read short stories, but Jim Butcher is awesome and I'll read anything of his. Plus I needed Harry Dresden back in my life. I loved revisiting the Dresden world with these stories. It's the perfect tease while we're waiting for Peace Talks (seriously, when is that book coming??).
I read the following stories from this collection:
Jury Duty 3 stars
Day One 4 stars
Zoo Day 5 stars

the stories from the perspectives of other characters are so much fun, especially the last story, you get it from the perspectives of Harry, Maggie and Mouse.
