Pas foule cette semaine . Je crois que notre tournoi est compromis . <| sep |> Round 1 Swiper is not stealthy at all so he easily gets caught . Sly can be really sneaky and disguise himself . Round 2 Same as Round 1 . Sly wins . Round 3 The guards say Swiper , no swiping three times and beat the shit out of that fox and pepper spray him . Sly takes that chance to steal the Mona Lisa . Round 4 Can Swiper even fight ? Sly is way too quick so he jumps onto Swiper and twists his neck . <| sep |> Yeah I would suggest starting at the beginning . Be fair warned , the first couple books is Jim Butcher basically feeling his way around , figuring out his own style , stuff like that . They ' re still pretty good , but they don ' t have the level of foreshadowing and direction that the later books have although you can see the inklings of the great series it will become . It ' s an amazing series and I have read all of the books except the latest one because I simply forget to . Thanks for the game , I can ' t wait to play it . Edit However you can start anywhere you want , my first book from the series is about in the middle and the way Butcher writes allows you to jump in at any time and not be completely lost .
