This was my favorite Butcher novel so far. It is relentless, pushing the drama to the last page. There is lots of satisfaction in the tale, including major plot twists with Thomas and Anastasia, both of which will make Dresden's future life much more complicated. There are great magic battles and character deaths, after transformations that make them into real losses. All the standard characters excel. Harry, though, surprises again and again.

Great story and well told!
