I'm digging this. The author has the dresden voice down pat (even though it's not strictly dresden). It also has done a good job of dealing with the different nature of magic between the two sources.

It's well written, but I think suffering from having a perfect super-Harry. He's not making mistakes, being smooth and wise and powerful and picking up incredibly useful and powerful magic devices.
It wouldn't be Harry Dresden without screw ups, social disaster and bittersweet endings.

Well it _is_ being narrated in the first person. There's a reasonable chance that he's already screwed up but hasn't realized it yet. (After all, when was the last time you realized you made a mistake until it came back to bite your?).  That said, I do feel as if Harry too astute a judge of character. He's got Hermione and Neville pegged too well even in the details. And the social engineering pulled on Hermione was a bit ham-handed and obvious as a plot device.
