I started both the October Daye and Dresden Files series this summer, having seen reviews indicating they were similar and well-liked.

Two books into both and I’m hooked on October Daye, but gave up on Dresden. Too much casual sexism for my taste, and it felt like Dresden was just too self-defeating, making things harder than they needed to be (more so than October, in any case).
