Oh, Harry.
Appropriately named book.

Further note, as this review was made many years ago: The Dresden Series as a whole is not a 5-star series, but there's a reason why Dresden is a genre-defining classic series nonetheless. This book, in context of the broader story, was epic. The name is no joke. It upends a status quo that existed in this book for the entire previous run and takes what feels like real risks, shaking the story and its characters to the core. It feels like there is an evolution of the author alongside the series, a conversation you're invited into through Dresden.
I'm glad I didn't throw the whole series in the trash after reading the first book, hah! I'm glad it got here. It sure takes some damn persuasive writing to change a first impression so negative, but it did.
