Changes

Executive Summary: If you've been enjoying yourself to this point in the series, you should really love this book as much as I do. It's definitely the best book of the series so far.

Audio book: James Marsters seems to approach each book like a 1 man show now. He has distinct voices for all the major parts, and even most of the minor ones. It seems like he enjoys reading them as much as I do, and that comes through.

Full Review
I had originally reviewed this book on Living Social's Virtual Bookshelf for Facebook when it first came out. That review got imported here, but it didn't really do it justice in my opinion, so I scrapped it and started over again.

I could go on rambling for paragraphs about how much I love this series, and how great this book, but I'll try to keep things concise.

While I was in the process of re-reading this book, I was really surprised to see there are negative reviews for it. Not only that, but the top review Good Read shows is a 2 star rating. I had to read it, and find out why.

The criticism is fair. But it could easily be applied to the previous ELEVEN books in the series. I get that this series won't be for everyone, but why have you read 12 books if you just don't think it's that good? Oh well people are entitled to their opinions.

I have a guilty pleasure for bad movies, especially martial arts movies. The quality of these books are much better than that in my view, but at it's core it's the equivalent of a popcorn flick.

They are a great interlude for some of the heavier stuff I stuff I've been reading, especially among the rise of all the grimdark fantasy lately. The books are fun.

This one is especially so. It starts and ends on some pretty big bombshells. And there are several huge revelations and developments inbetween.

The ending pissed me off so much when I read it the first time. HOW COULD HE LEAVE THINGS THERE? WHEN IS THE NEXT BOOK COMING OUT!? DAMN YOU JIM BUTCHER!! KAAAAAAAHN!!!

Sorry, where was I? This book lives up to it's name more than any other in and the series and probably most of the books I've read in general.

Things change for Harry, who like me is a creature of habit, and prefers everything just so. Things have been building to this point for quite some time, and the last several chapters are more action packed than most of the previous books combined.

I really love this book.

There that was mostly concise, wasn't it? At least for me..
