I think this one was more self-contained with fewer plot lines going on at the same time (as usually was the case with previous books). I love this series and will keep on reading.

Harry Dresden is a self-righteous ass. I liked the series for its action and excitement, but his character is making it really hard to read the books. Not sure when I'll tackle the last Dresden book I have.

This is a great modern or urban fantasy. I've read the first nine books in the series and don't intend to review all of them, so this is a review of the series. There is a formula to the series, and it becomes a bit too apparent about mid-way through the books I've read, but the writing is good enough to overlook it.
The characters are interesting and the action is well paced. Highly recommended to anyone interested in magic set in the modern world.

I have now listened to at least three, maybe four Jim Butcher "Dresden Files" books on tape. My wife and I listen to them on long car rides. She likes them because they are read by some actor who was on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I have to admit that I am usually not a fan of books on tape, but these are really well read, and quite good if you like that sort of thing. I have a feeling the novels themselves might not hold the same appeal if I were reading them. But they're entertaining enough, and I do think the latter ones are better than the ones in the beginning of the series. This one, being in the middle of the series, I felt was also fairly middling.
