After a brief interlude in the afterlife, Harry Dresden’s new job makes him wonder if death was really all that bad in this novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling series. Harry Dresden is no longer Chicago’s only professional wizard. Now, he’s Winter Knight to Mab, the Queen of Air and Darkness. Her word is his command. And her first command is the seemingly impossible: kill an immortal. Worse still, there is a growing threat to an unfathomable source of magic that could mean the deaths of millions. Beset by enemies new and old, Harry must gather his friends and allies, prevent an apocalypse, and find a way out of his eternal subservience before his newfound infinite powers claim the only thing he has left to call his own... His soul.

I appreciate the way all the plots tied together as the story wrapped up but it was a let down after the previous book. I thought we were headed for a more thoughtful Dresden after the beautifully constructed and by comparison more thoughtfulGhost Story.
Butcher went back to throwing Dresden into one action scene after another and completely failing to enthrall me. If something is constant, you start to tune it out.
I suppose if only every other book in this series is good, that's still notable given how long it has continued.
Harry Dresden was dead but brought back to life by Mab the Winter Queen. He has to fight back the nature of being the Winter Knight and its base instincts. He finds he has to save his magical island and all of Chicago. He reconnects with his old allies and enemies in the process. I still love this series 14 books in and it still interests me. Poor Harry is always getting beat up and beat down. Of course I will only listen to it on audio book as I love it being read by James Marsters. He just seems to do the character justice.
An excellent addition to the Dresden line. Butcher is the master of the long character development arc. I look eagerly for the next volume.
