I always start my recommendations
on Butcher’s books the same way. I am a fan of Butcher and love his Harry
Dresden series. This story is a more
philosophic Butcher/Dresden.
The plot of the story is familiar
Butcher, somebody is subjecting Chicago
to supernatural terror. Once again,
Harry Dresden is tasked to protect his city and his friends. The villains are as dark as or perhaps even
darker than ever. Harry, however, is
merely a shade of his previous self.
Harry is more philosophical in this
book. There is even more introspection
than usual. Harry looks at the
consequence of his actions and even waxes somewhat religiously. That doesn’t mean the book isn’t chock full
of the mad cap action we all have learned to love.
Harry hasn’t lost his edge but
future books may feature a more thoughtful Harry Dresden. Of course it is as equally likely that his
smash mouth wizardly style will continue to destroy his enemies. I do think that in this book, Harry Dresden
found himself. This book is kind of
like coffee with one of those flavored creamers, still coffee but just a little
bit different.
I highly recommend the book.

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
