Oh, my god. How wrong can she get?

Well, let's see. In the very first rule of fantasy she states that it must take place in a premodern world. Why?

Neither magic nor adventuring quests can be believably set in a modern, logical and scientific world (while science fiction can).

Young Wizards? Chrestomanci, which is close to modern? Harry fucking Potter, for god's sake?

My head is already hurting, yet still, I must read on....

It gets worse, if you can believe that. Oh dear. Is it all some sort of subtle joke I'm not catching?

Yeah, it's a series by Jim Butcher about a wizard-for-hire in Chicago. It's great and terribly addictive. :)
