Quotes
The eighth book of the Dresden Files is one hell of a good read, propelled by Harry Dresdens sardonic narration and a difficult mystery with a satisfying, if somewhat melancholy, conclusion. During the action-packed, fast-paced narrative, Harry moves from one crisis to another with barely a chance to catch his breath. The political machinations are fascinating, as are the moral choices that Harry and his allies are forced to make. – RT Book Reviews Longtime fans of Butchers series, as well as new devotees of the Sci-Fi Channel’s Dresden Files show, should thoroughly enjoy Butchers latest romp through Chicagos paranormal underworld. – Barnes & Noble editorial review [A] superlative…novel. – Publishers Weekly (starred review) As usual in the Dresden Files…Butcher puts the characters in a lot of danger, creates appalling moral choices for them, and spins an excellent noirish detective yarn in a well-crafted, supernaturally charged setting. The supporting cast is again fantastic, and Harrys wit continues to fly in the face of a peril-fraught plot. – Booklist (starred review) The latest in Butchers supernatural noir series…delivers a tricky plot complete with against-the-clock pacing, firefights, explosions, and plenty of magic…A real winner. – Library Journal
