Character Development

Seeing as I've only finished the first book of the Dresden Files and the characters were introduced more than they were developed, I'll go with the first Stephanie Plum novel One for the Money.

Even if I'm only about half way through it, the main character, Stephanie Plum has changed a lot already. At the beginning she was broke and looking for a job, and now she has one-as a bounty hunter working for her cousin. Her new job put her in a lot of situations that have already had an immense impact on her behavior and attitude from the beginning up until now. She's gotten a lot tougher, and she's not even afraid of her own gun (well, at least not as much as she used to be) anymore.

The book is equal parts amusing and dramatic so I'm really enjoying it so far! It's going to be really interesting to see where this series goes. (I'm still keeping up with Dresden though.)
