Jim Butcher’s Leap forwards #1 New York Times bestseller
The Warden Morgan has been accused of treason against the Wizards of the White Council-and there’s only one final punishment for that crime. He’s on the run, he wants his name cleared, and he needs a name with a knack for backing the underdog. Like Harry Dresden. Now, Harry must uncover a traitor within the Council, keep a less-than-agreeable Morgan under wraps, and avoid coming under scrutiny himself. And a single mistake could cost Harry his head…

Harry Dresden is just an ancient friend to me, and I adore alternative up the books for a quick, simple, and permanently entertaining read. This one was absolutely no exception.
I loved seeing the return of the werewolves, the play of the White Court, and the permanently entertaining Toot-Toot. I loved getting greater depth to Morgan, and I’m really getting to delight in Molly as a character and see her development.

I also have to hand it to Butcher as a writer. He’s agreed me one of my favorite lines, ever, in a book–regarding the scenery of both like and hope–and proving that it’s possible to write simply, but also write deeply.

Look, I can’t complain – I am an avid reader of Butcher’s stuff – all fantastic, all page turning fantasy – very excellent stuff. I nearly despise to say this, but, has anyone else noticed (i) that pretty much everything about the Dresden series seems to be dreadfully similar to Glen Cook’s ancient and still on-going series on Garrett, P.I.? The coincidences between the two series are more than a bit odd; and (ii) is it just me, or does anyone else get the smell that the leader might have a slight problem with folks of the Jewish faith? Just my odd thoughts.

From reading the first few chapters at Jim Butcher’s website. It has the makings of a very appealing and dramatic tale. Here is the website of the leader’s teaser preview his upcoming book.

I like the Dresden tales and this one is no exception. There are enough people talking about the tale here that I don’t need to add more, but I am finding the editorial problems distracting.
The paragraphs are spaced as if it were a high school student trying to turn a two page essay into a five page essay. I shouldn’t have to turn the page every three paragraphs (and it’s nothing to do with type size)
There are several places where it appears that the same sentance was used twice in the same paragraph. As if a name didn’t edit it.
I delight in the tale alot, but the editing is really distracting and makes it an annoying read.
I don’t reflect it’s simply a matter of Kindle formatting because this was not the case on any of the additional Dresden books I’ve read on my Kindle.
This book was far more expensive, even in Kindle format, than any of the additional Dresden books. I would expect some care to be taken in the editing and it was obviously not done.

I’ve loved my Kindle, and I’ve loved having the ability to download some of Jim Butcher’s Dresden Files and Furies of Calderon series. I’ve never noticed any problems with the formatting or editing in the works I’ve downloaded.
Whoever prepared Turn Coat for the Kindle did a terrible job. Multiple lines show up at random between paragraphs, for no reason. Sentence fragments repeat, and rudimentary editing mistakes were made (“role” for “roll” is one instance, for example). In fleeting, it’s the most poorly formatted work I’ve bought in the year I’ve had my Kindle.
This sort of amateurish publishing shows a disregard for the Kindle community, and I suspect it hampers the adoption of the Kindle.
I like Dresden, and the tale in Turn Coat is a page-turner. But the formatting should be corrected, and is the sole reason for the poor rating on this item.
