About this listen

Things are about to get serious for Harry Dresden, Chicago's only professional wizard, in the next entry in the number one New York Times and number one Sunday Times best-selling Dresden Files.

Harry has faced terrible odds before. He has a long history of fighting enemies above his weight class. The Red Court of vampires. The fallen angels of the Order of the Blackened Denarius. The Outsiders.

But this time it's different. A being more powerful and dangerous on an order of magnitude beyond what the world has seen in a millennium is coming. And she's bringing an army. The Last Titan has declared war on the city of Chicago and has come to subjugate humanity, obliterating any who stand in her way.

Harry's mission is simple but impossible: save the city by killing a Titan. And the attempt will change Harry's life, Chicago and the mortal world forever.

This is definitely the second part of one story.
Except for the beginning and end it was one big action scene.
Still meaningful things happened setting up more books and hooking me in.

Never before has a book made me laugh, cry, shout with joy and be given goosebumps all in one sitting like this book. If you’ve made it this far in Jim Butcher’s The Dresden Files then you don’t need me to tell you how good these books are. What I can do is tell you this is one of the absolute best in the series so far. What picks up right after the end of Peace Talks is an absolute emotional and adrenal roller coaster of a book that will forever change the world that Harry inhabits. This book. Brilliant. Buy it. Or spend a credit. I’m rambling....

Sad, wild and worth it! Epic battle that had many costs and kept you on the edge of your.... whatever you listen on!

Great to hear the return of much better production values and voicing I remember. James Marsters is certainly back on game.

Well worth it

My goodness, where to begin?
Firstly, this is a much better story than Peace Talks. that story had no meat, whatsoever. So much so that Peace Talks isn't even acknowledged. I mean the fight between Harry and the Blackstaff isn't even mentioned! Anyway, the story has bones and good action. Empty Night, it even made me upset over a character death, one that I actively despised, so well done there. James Masters is back with a good performance. Remember the accents of the characters and bringing some life to them. I loved the short story at the end as well.
There is, in this book, the culmination of many little breadcrumbs, which is extraordinarily satisfying. Skip Peace Talks, just go straight to this.

A much better performance... All around.

Jim Butcher is back!
I was worried after the slow going “Peace Talks”, but all is forgiven after reading this action packed follow up.
It’s classics Dresden with some truly epic moment...and it’s also pretty funny too.

The Butcher’s bill will be high.
