Iron Druid Chronicles

So I'm still sick, but I just got finished reading books 1-5 of the Iron Druid Chronicle by Kevin Hearne. It's a very well thought out series. I'd reccomend it to people who enjoy urban fantasy.

My one point of contention is that I'm not very big on seemingly random killings off of existing characters with lots of "screen time" unless they're written in a way that lets you know in advance they're going to die.
I also don't care for characters who end up switching sides without any precoursing activity that the reader can easily identify as shifty behavior. Ie. if you're gonna be a manipulative bastard BE a manipulative bastard.
