Personally, I liked them. I agree with prior posters: they are fun mindcandy, there is an issue of power escalation but it gets caught in time.
IMNSHO, Butcher catches the power escalation just as it's about to cross the line into "ok, now he's just stupid" and nerfs Dresden back to reasonable levels. Furthermore, he does it in an interesting way that has the potential for some cool future plot coupons. Interestingly, he does NOT nerf the opposition at the same time, so we'll see what happens in later books.
