Fated

Surprisingly decent Dresden-esque fantasy. It knows what it is, there's a clear Dresden reference in the first page or so. The big gimmick here is that mages have a specialty and can't do much outside of that specialty, and the protagonist's specialty here is divination, reading the future and predicting outcomes.

Urban fantasy is kind of a cursed genre, where even the better stuff is pretty bound by its tropes and conventions. This is one of the few decent ones, and the friend who recommended it to me told me this first book wasn't that strong but the series improves. That's not to say it's not bound to those tropes and conventions, but I still think it's better than most of its contemporaries, so it's definitely suitable for fans of the genre looking for something new to try.
