stoutfellowI've enjoyed the Harry Dresden novels (and a couple of short stories) by Jim Butcher quite a bit. (I do wish he'd get back to them and stop futzing around with other universes; he promised us an *ending* that should be only a few volumes away.)
One thing in particular I've liked is the alternating power of the Winter and Summer Courts, and the revelation of Winter's true role. But... my Willing Suspension of Disbelief on this point keeps getting put under stress. *The world is round and axially tilted.* Northern winter is southern summer, and that puts Butcher's whole scheme awry.
It's not as bad as some of, e.g., Rowling's solecisms, but the issue is more central to the series, and the flaw is therefore more irritating.
