Y'know, it kinda irritates me that I just start each new Dresden story now, and fall in love so quickly. I know others complain that things aren't necessarily getting tied up, or that it's more of the same high action, breathless storytelling.
It is all that, but it's also what you come to a Dresden book for, so I don't understand the complaints. Will the storylines eventually get tied up? Unless the author meets an untimely end, I have faith that it will. Other than that, I'm along for the ride.
In this one, Butcher creates one of his best new characters. Hades. I'll say nothing more, but hot damn, that chapter crackled.
And the "Parkour, bitch." line literally drew a snort.
This is entertainment at it's best. I love this series.
