The first two books are kind of a slog. Book four is my favorite of the whole series.

It's been a while since I've read them, but you can pretty much just skip the first two books if you want. Other than a few references/characters (that Butcher typically explains/introduces again anyway) I don't really think there's a whole lot of overarching plot introduced yet in those two.

Unfortunately-and I say “unfortunately” because it’s my least favorite of the books—I think book 2 has some important character background that comes back in the two most recent installments. Probably not anything you couldn’t get from context but it helps.

I thought they were okay, they’re not as bad as people have made them out to be.

I plan on reading Book 3 soon so I can’t compare at the moment.
