Jim Butcher: Summer Knight
Dear Author,
The vampires are at war with the wizards. At the beginning of Summer Knight, Harry Dresden must attend a meeting of the White Council. Dresscode: robes. Dresden wears a striped flanell bathrobe. The wizards hold their meeting in latin. Dresden speaks latin. Or so he thought.
"Well. First you said, 'I am a sorry excuse, Merlin, a sad long day held me. I need me a different laundress.' " I blinked. "What?" "That's what the Merlin said. Then you said 'Excuses to you for my being dressed and I also make lately.' "
My husband came in and asked what had me laughing so loud. After the comic scene, however, it gets dire. In this book, Harry Dresden is up against both Faerie courts. He has to investigate a murder that looks like an accident to the police. Somebody from his past comes back - to help? To betray our hero again? And all the while, assassins come jumping him in the supermarket.
The wizard is in more danger than ever, but he finally changed his inner monologue. A great volume in a good series.
Yours sincerely
Christina Widmann de Fran
