Reddit reviews The Finder

We are back to the Reed Richards is Useless Trope. Magical solution are only used for magical problems in most books, This is because real life problems feel too "real" to magic away and because imagining a world where magic makes certain mundane problem go away means you have to imagine a world a bit different from our own, which many find to be a lot of work.


There are A LOT of things in the Dreseden Files that really should have changed the world more then they do. The body count quickly gets WAY too high for "The Masquerade" to make sense.


But yes, other authors have done this. The Grave Witch books imagine a world where witches who can work with corpses and the dead are routinely consulted on police matters. Some early Anita Blake novels did something similar, as to some extent did The Finder.
