I did. It had lots of good parts, but also so much cringe. I remember one of the novels that had Dresden speak to Titania, and out of the fucking blue, the author wrote a pro-gay marriage manifesto. Completely broke the suspension of disbelief, and seemed utterly out of place.
Or in the most recent one, he randomly killed off Murphy in a moronic way (even if I didn't particularly care for her), patently obviously only to have her be out of the way while he writes his fetish of Dresden being in a relationship with a vampire, and being "forced" to take part in it because of Mab, so that we can't hold him responsible for moving on from his long-term relationship at the drop of a penny.
There were many memorable events, like riding a tyrannosaurus skeleton to battle or channelling the power of a leyline to fend off an immortal shapeshifting creature, but the amount of woke, 4th wall breaking crap, makes me hesitant to really recommend the series to anyone.
