Critic reviews

"Butcher's latest maintains the momentum of previous Dresden outings and builds the suspense right up to a rousing conclusion." ( Booklist)
All stars

This is my favourite dresden book. the later ones have seemed to lack as much humour as the first 10, though still not to be missed. They always have you on the edge of you're chair

one of the wittiest , fast paced book ever

Once again Jim Butcher brings poor old Harrys world to life. I would recommend any Dresden book to the world if I could! 5 stars!

Fantastic!

Another good one!
Sometimes i feel like i want more explanation to the magic and spells, but then i realize that this is not that kind of series and go with the flow.
I definitely had to focus more while listening to this book, because there's a lot of new characters and by the last hour i realized i had completely skipped over a character and had no idea who that was .so just..pay attention...there's a lot of necromancers roaming around. :)
James Marsters as Narrator must be a god of some sort.or must have made a dark ritual ... amazing talent! Thank You!

Both James Marsters and the story are fantastic in this book! James's narrative skills in the first book of the series were ok at best, but have improved with every book until, with this book, I now rank him as one of the best narrators around!

Best book in the series so far

This series just gets better and better, this has been my favourite book so far. There's so much to talk about but I'd rather leave surprises for future readers/listeners. The new characters are great, the enemies are great, Sue is great and Mouse is great

James Marsters has improved so much as a narrator, he's in his element. He is Harry Dresden

Jim Butcher has a fantastic mind for world building and has done such a great job with these books that the world of The Dresden Files is becoming my favourite fictional world

Just Fantastic

I always enjoy the performance of James, I've read all of the books and James plays Harry just as he sounded in my head. It's very entertaining and I come back to the Dresden Files again and again.

Another good Dresden file

Absolutely love this book, second time listening to it. characters develop brilliantly and the story moves the series along really well.
the narrator is excellent, don't normally like American narrators particularly but his voices are fantastic and he brings a fun story to life.

Great fun.
