We get to know a lot more about Molly, Charity, and Murphy, who are all strong and bad-ass female characters and are given more space in this book. I thought this one was a little bit more self-contained with less overwhelming magic battles, and more character development, which was good. And Dresden apparently gets an apprentice, cool!??
I had a little difficulty getting into this, but once it caught hold I really enjoyed it. Dresden is a solid character with flaws and all. I was afraid that the series would start getting stale, but Butcher is able to keep the story engaging and keep the reader caring about what happens to Dresden and his entourage.
