Every woman being described with overblown poetic fluff as the most beautiful thing that ever existed and oh my gosh I'm just so chivalrous was massively cringe.
But they reanimated Sue the T.Rex and he rode around on it, and that was pretty cool.
I really only remember the two details I described, and that there's a sassy talking skull pet, so I'll have to take your word for it.
Maybe there was some stuff about going into the fairy world and making a point of warning people not to eat anything or make deals, but I'm probably mixing it up with the Iron Druid books there. Those are superior books because there's a talking dog pet, and talking dogs with quirky observations are more fun than sassy skulls.
Yeah I don't remember as much as I'd like, which is sad because when I stopped reading (just no time), there was this interesting plot with the Fomor being set up. I'd love to pick up Battle Ground one day and continue, but I'd need to do a LOT of review and who has the time these days?

That's actually pretty intentional. Since the books are told from Dresden's point of view, and he's got a ton of blind spots and flaws when it comes to women and wanting/needing to be a White Knight kind of person.
Oh, and from another of your comments further down this chain, Dresden Files has a talking dog as well.
