About this listen

 Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden is a very powerful wizard and a dedicated private eye. He is also a wise cracking trouble magnet. Fueled by a tempest of guilt, sleep deprivation, malnutrition, bad temper and frankly awful personal grooming. Harry is hurtling toward oblivion. According to Harry that is nobody's business but his own.

The Winter Queen of Faerie manipulates him into accepting a case to solve a murder and stop a war between the courts of Summer and Winter that could have literally earth shattering consequences. His own soul is up for grabs. Dresden must dig deep to discover that at time a willingness to accept a little help from your friends, be they a cub pack of werewolves, old loves in sheep's clothing, or a battalion of pizza loving dewdrop fairies, is a very good thing.

Jim Butcher goes from from strength to strength. This is another corker and I am enjoying re-listening to it based on what I know about him now.

Great stuff

The voice actor is perfect, he fits the personality of dresden perfectly. He also does the voice of other characters and jokes perfectly. The road runner impression at the end was a massive break in the din of the fight and caused me to burst out laughing

As for the story itself, it was good to see more of the power dresden holds and his whits. Loved every minute of it and hated (in a good way) the many betrayals inflicted on dresden.

Perfect voice and heart wrenching story

The story was very well structured with very good pacing. Very much a detective story mixed with Middle Earth sized climax. You can tell Butcher is really hitting his stride as a writer and now I'm really looking forward to the next book.
