I did not enjoy this one as much as Summer Knight, but it was definitely a strong book. In a way, the Dresden files feel like one huge book because of the overlying story arc. Every book you get fed little tidbits to get a deeper look into Harry's world, leaving you to question his background. But there are so few tidbits of info that you as reader and Harry as character gain that it seems like Jim Butcher can draw this out forever. He probably will.
Like in previous books, I really enjoy all recurring elements. It makes the world more cohesive. Which means I enjoyed the return of Michael, I really enjoyed the new Susan (though the 'love scene' made me roll my eyes), another look at Marcone, and I am really looking forward to the return of the Denarians. Riveting. Fast paced. Quick read. All I have …
