    lol, that’s so true.

    I haven’t read many urban fantasy, but from the ones I have read I think that’s just how the genre is, it has that “monster of the week” feel.

      Have you read any Kim Harrison? Her “Hollows” novels had a different feel from the Dresden books while also being solidly urban fantasy (TBF, I’ve only read a couple of them - might still be pretty MOTW).

        No, haven’t tried that yet, and to be frank I haven’t read too much in the genre, but that’s the feel I have gotten from the series I have tried, though I haven’t actually finished any of them yet so it’s completely possible they all evolve to something else after the first few books.

        Will you recommend Kim Harrison’s Hollows novels?

          Eh, IDK whether to recommend them or not. I enjoyed the first one but kinda gave up after book 2 or 3. If you like urban fantasy, it’s probably worth checking out. IDK whether you’d get hung up on the same things that I did (Sorry to be so vague; it’s been a while since I read them).
