As much as I've enjoyed the stories in this series, every once in a while I seem to get stuck and it takes me forever to move on. This particular book took me forever to get through.

In this story Harry finds himself caught in the middle of a fairy war, really what could be worse? He's had nothing but trouble with that lot starting with his Godmother.

An enjoyable book in the Dresden series. I like that Dresden actually finds the wacky forces and creatures he's involved with scary and worrisome rather than just having a "I'll kick all their butts from here to Sunday" attitude. But the "Oh no, I'm in over my head" factor of this book was a little high. Every time I turned the page, the odds were even worse for Harry.

I enjoyed the character of Elaine and hope to see more of her in later books, particularly since Susan and Murphy were mostly mis ...more
