Product Description |
The new novel in the New York Times bestselling Dresden Files series.
No one's tried to kill Harry Dresden for almost an entire year, and his life finally seems to be calming down. For once, the future looks fairly bright. But the past casts one hell of a long shadow.
An old bargain has placed Harry in debt to Mab, monarch of the Winter Court of the Sidhe, the Queen of Air and Darkness-and she's calling in her marker. It's a small favor he can't refuse...one that will trap Harry Dresden between a nightmarish foe and an equally deadly ally, and one that will strain his skills- and loyalties-to their very limits.
It figures. Everything was going too well to last... |

Jim Butcher delivers once again |
As always, Butcher delivers a fast and fun ride. Now 10 books long, The Dresden Files shows no signs of getting stale as so many series do by this point. There is an intriguing over-arching story line, but this book, like all the others in this series, stands on its on as a good read.
I'd also like to put a plug in for the Codex Alera series also by Jim Butcher. It is a slightly different type of story, but just as much fun. |

Big rewards from a Small Favor |
|
In many cases with a long run series, the latter books can show signs of plot fatigue and weakening character development. Having been a fan of The Dresden Files books for several years, I can assure you that Jim Butcher continues to draw my enthusiasm and appreciation for the world of wizard Harry Dresden. Despite the failed TV show (which did not do the books any justice), Butcher's unique first-person writing style, lavish setting and captivating character personalities make the series a breath of fresh literature in the sea of monotony in the fantasy/sci-fi genre. For current fans of the books, Small Favor does not disappoint. For anyone looking for the next great series to follow, books 1-10 of Jim Butcher's The Dresden Files is waiting for you! |

good but slightly fragmented and choppy |
Hello; I am a great fan of Butcher's Dresden. this story though seemed choppy and fragmented, it did not have the flow of the others.
Some of the related incidents from other stories and his history did not seem to track as clearly as in previous books.
I love the series though the characters are my favorites, and I love the tv series done with this story line.. better than most other stuff on tv now!
Please convince them to continue for a few more to clear up the uncle issue and make Harry a white wizard again..and his girl friend... needs to show herself again. and the vampire courts etc all the make believe netherland is wonderfully scary and horrid |

Another excellent entry |
|
The wonderful thing about following the Dresden Files is that the writer comes out with new books like clockwork and they never flag in quality. Butcher is masterful at weaving together edge-of-your-seat action with long germinating plots that take several books to develop. This entry is no exception and almost leaves more questioned unanswered than it resolves. |
