It's silly that you're getting downvoted for saying this. Look, I'm a massive Dresden fan, and I have been since I was a teenager. I bought the collector's edition statue when it came out a few years ago. If you could look at my subreddit hours, I'm sure the amount spent on r/dresdenfiles would be concerning.

But to blithely ignore the series's problems is equally concerning. The fact that the female characters are also well-realized and developed doesn't change the fact that Harry, inter alia, has commented on more than one underage woman's attractiveness. Even Small Favor, which I see as a turning point in the series's maturity, has a scene when Harry comments on an adolescent Ivy's body. I honestly don't know if I'd recommend the series to anyone in 2022. The farthest I might go is to say "start at Book 10."

Edit: grammar
