Was a close call, I almost gave it 4.5 stars. This was the strongest book so far. With every book of the Dresden files you seem to get drawn deeper within the world of the Dresden universe. This one almost had an epic fantasy feel at the end, when the two Sidhe courts went to war. As a huge fan of the Changeling setting in World of Darkness, I really enjoyed reading about the Seelie and Unseelie courts.
Now if only we ever knew why Harry is so hated by the White Council. It can only get messier from here. I am enjoying the ride quite a bit.
The recurring characters were a nice touch, I enjoy Billy and his gang of pizza-eating, tabletop-playing werewolves.
There's very little not to love about this book. Looking forward to seeing what else Jim Butcher will come up with.
