Just wow...wow. Wow. WOW.

This book hit like a friggin truck! From the very first chapter to that absolute cliffhanger ending, Changes did not let up. It is just one whammy after another and my heart goes out not only to other fans of this series, but to my boy Harry Dresden as well. This was a grim reminder that Jim Butcher is not afraid to bring the proverbial hammer down upon these characters and in this instance I was genuinely afraid of what was going to happen. So much crap rains down on Harry in a devastating downpour of one difficult choice after another and it just so happens that no matter how good his intentions, misfortune follows. This book literally broke me in such a permanent way that I am officially declaring Dresden has rightfully earned its place in my top fantasy series of all time.
