Harry Dresden’s life finally seems to be calming down—until a shadow from the past returns. Mab, monarch of the Sidhe Winter Court, calls in an ancient favor from Harry—one tiny favor that will trap him between a nightmarish foe and an equally deadly ally, and that will strain his skills—and loyalties—to their very limits.

Really disappointed at the way this book was recorded.
If it was not for the voice of James Marsters, I would return it and not buy another one recorded under your mark.
The previous 4 Dresden books were recorded under Buzzy CD,came each book in one CD. Total 4 CD’S.
Yours, one book in 6 CD!!! Some, as I’m listening now, skip words, come irritating as if they have been used (heavily) before.
I hope that the quality will improve in the following books.

I’m not sure about any of these additional reviews, if they read it or not it’s hard to tell, but I have one major question…where’s Harry Dresden? The Harry we have come to know and like seems somehow absent in this volume.
After all this time of holding off amd waiting, he just suddenly gives in to his urges over a woman he has not really shown any interest in over the course of the series? As a replacement for of one of the many current women in his life and throughout the books. I don’t know it. If he has been able to resist for this long, waiting for his like that just doesn’t seem to be, why suddenly just give in on a whim. Not only does that open him up more for a White court vamp but it just does not seem to fit his style.
Fearing and cowering so much before Mab? Temptation and resisting it, or giving in to it, is what made him such a fantastic character for me. By the end of this book, he seemed to be losing much of what makes him a fantastic character.
And now, I hope I am incorrect, but being a warden lacking a sword, I had hoped he would take up the winter knight role as a replacement for of the Knight’s sword, now that would be entertaining, filled with temptation and the might to avoid or give in. Getting rid of Lash was terrible enough, now it seems even more… churchy?
It feels that way when the Knights are involved, I’ll give you that, but come on. This a lot like religious fiction to me. Again…agreed the Knights role I can know that much, but Harry just wasn’t himself for me in this book.
It wasn’t a terrible read by any means and I’m sure I’ll be in the minority that did not like it, but there it is. It didn’t feel like Harry to me. Maybe my hopes were too high? I can only hope the next one will get back to his roots and take him more fervently along the thin line between excellent and evil and keep him leaning one way, towards the light, but still tightly gripping the additional side, needing the dark to fight dark things.

I have to agree with some of the earlier reviewers. Especially Veruska..I was dissappointed with the book. Don’t get me incorrect. I LOVE Jim Butcher and I LOVE Harry. I’ve been a rabid fan for over 10 years and was in line waiting for the book. I did devour the book. His pacing is stellar as permanently. It was excellent to see ancient friends resurface but when looking at the entire series…this book was filler. It was a placeholder and I don’t reflect it laid much foundation for future books. It was nearly as it, folks have been pleading to Jim to write a book with these characters again so he made a sort of “best of” storyline.
Spoilers Alert……I reflect Harry’s inner dialogue was excellent in parts, fantastic in others. I was wishing for more of certain characters. More Bob, Thomas, more from the Summer court or even his godmother Lea. If you’re gonna be effective closely with the Courts of the NeverNever, then you would reflect she’s got to be included somehow. I reflect the mystery wasn’t vetted or credible. Clever and cute, yes, but not was dramatic as the last fantastic one with I judge was in Proven Guilty. The book pales. Certain plot points weren’t painstakingly vetted to me. I kept thinking that with everything that’s take place to Jim Butcher over the last 12-18 months(TV series, bestseller books), that this book was essentially “phoned in”. I know with publishing deadlines looming and two successful series…something like this was bound to take place. I’m still a fan and will still buy the books on Day 1 because I just know how fantastic Jim Butcher is as a writer. He said he want to get to 20 books..there is bound to be placeholders before tying this off.

I like the series, have followed it since Butcher only had the first book out. I have to lower my rating though as the size of this paperback is extremely disappointing. I have custom bookcases covering an entire wall and they are sized for normal paperbacks, this book has to be stored in the spare bedroom closet because it won’t fit. It also looks like we aren’t going to even see a normal size in this edition so I’m stuck with it now. Why, why, why did the publisher do this??!! I’m not even going to buy any further books now for dread of getting stuck with odd sizes, I’ll use the library from now on.

Finally a relief for Chicago’s only openly practicing professional wizard Harry Dresden as no one has tried to kill in reasonably a while. But, Harry’s serenity abruptly ends when the Queen of the Winter Court of the Sidhe and Queen of Air and Darkness Mab arrives to call in his IOU. Harry prayed this day would never come when he questioned her for a favor years ago, but he now owes the ever treacherous Mab two favors.
Harry is relieved when all Mab questions of him is to rescue crime boss John Marcone, who was recently kidnapped. He facts how hard this can be as dealing with a mundane mob killers seems simpler than some of the supernatural soul stealers he normally contends with. Still he is confused why Mab wants this done and bewildering him further she does not know why. Harry investigates to know better the scenario as he finds it hard to fathom how John was abducted from a highly guarded safehouse. He questions his friend Michael Carpenter, father of his apprentice Molly, to help him, but the “Knight of the Sword” hesitates as he distrusts Harry since the wizard was exposed to a curse. But, Harry soon realizes that by abetting Mab, he has brought onto him and his friends, the most powerful adversary of the Queen of the Winter Court, the Queen of Summer.
Dresden is at his best in this private investigative urban fantasy as his R&R ends with paying his debt. Fans will appreciate the hero as the favor seems simple enough, but soon spirals into soul threatening danger that would have hard core sleuths like Marlowe peeing in their pants. Dresden’s inquiries are cleverly done to set the stage for the usual lethal fantasy spin. Readers will relish Jim Butcher’s latest tour of Chicago’s underground as the sunny skies abruptly twist into deadly tornadoes.
