Notes
Wow, I’m flying through books here. Ever since I got my new kindle I’ve been reading like a maniac. 2.5 books finished since Christmas.

This is by far my favorite of the dresden files books. It’s the best put together, with even little things like a polka suit becoming tremendously important by the end of the book. Butters, the medical examiner, has also vaulted upwards in my rankings of Dresden sidekick characters.

I try not to spoil in these notes sections so I’ll just say that the climax of this book has one of the most awesome fight sequences I’ve ever read. It’s so absurd in the way that the Dresden books can be absurd but it is just so…Dresden that it just seems to make sense.

Dresden’s internal struggle with a force that promises to offer him great power to help those around him in his greatest hour of need but with a price that he knows will be too great in the future takes center stage here as well and really helps to define Harry’s character.

The more I read of this series, the more drawn in I get.

Next Book

I’m reading the next book in the Dresden Files, Proven Guilty by Jim Butcher. I may not be able to get this done before the new year, so I think my final 50 in 365 challenge result is going to be 40.
