Review of 'Brief cases' on 'Goodreads'

Más historias cortas, con algunas de ellas bastante interesantes, como la ambientada en el antiguo Oeste. Por desgracia, aquí pasan cosas bastante importantes para la trama principal, que en los libros no quedan explicadas, así que no queda más remedio que pasar por las historias cortas. Menos mal que son entretenidas.

Review of 'Brief cases' on 'Goodreads'

I listened to this book with Levi, and we are in agreement that the last story, "Zoo Day" – with the three points of view: adult wizard (Harry), child (Maggie), and dog (Mouse) was fabulous. We liked the three points of view with the same story. Overall, the fact that the stories progressed through time from well before the start of the series until after book 15 tided together and kept it relevant while flushing out the entire story. It is still the case that Harry Dresden rules!

Review of 'Brief cases' on 'Goodreads'

Great collection of short stories in the world of the Dresden Files. I had read a few of them before, but the notes from the author about the thought process of writing them were gold. Also, "day at the zoo," the last story is told in a cool fashion from perspectives I wasn't expecting. Heck, several stories were. We get a story from Marcone's perspective, Molly's, and even Butters's. If you've enjoyed these characters as extras, you'll love them as leads.

Review of 'Brief cases' on 'Goodreads'

Oh my goodness! There were so many ups and downs through out this collection. I loved each story, even as they broke my heart, and really enjoyed all the different perspectives we got. Marcone, Butters, Molly, Maggie and Mouse! Ugh, it was so good. And the audio narrators were all fantastic!
