Nice mystery, a bit of gore from wherewolf victums, and although I do suspected at soms point the perpettrator, I did not truly believe how or that hé really did it till the reveil in the end. Also love how we now slowly get a hint of how there is more behind the crime than we know.

Too bad that I couldn't enjoy it. Excessively kitsch and predictable.

Solid audiobook, but another one falling into the most place of me reading it over a long period of time and it losing its flow. Fantastic narration by James Masters, and a fun series to read!

This suffers a bit from the more-is-better Hollywood syndrome. This is a bit like those movie sequels where the producers/directors give you a whole lot more of what you liked in the first movie while sacrificing everything else.

There is just way too much going on in this book to be able to get your head around. And of course, this comes at the cost of pretty much everything else. Not that you have time to notice any of it (which is why the book gets 4 stars despite it all). Thankfully, Jim Butcher manages to tie everything together by the end so that it all makes sense, but only just. There are a few too many unanswered questions for my liking and some unsatisfactory and convenient coincidences that help the author resolve this monster of a plot.

Despite these though, there is no denying that the story is fascinating, fast paced and very intriguing. So even though there are quite a few disappointments, it isn't long before something else happens in the book which takes your mind off the flaws. So, lots of flaws, but still a fun read overall.

okay, this one was better. Still nothing great, but better. I felt more comfortable with Dresden's world and that was a big help. There were a couple of really great and intense scenes in the book. Still the character of Dresden is slightly annoying and those people that are his friends even more annoying. All in all it was a satisfying trip though, I considered stopping the trip a few times throughout, but I saw it through to the end and I am glad that I did, but I believe I will take a break befor I go on any more trips with Dresden.
