Over the course of the Dresden Files series Jim Butchers writing ability has improved from book to book, especially when it comes to action. One of the best things about each book is the fun ways in which Harry and his friends go about beating the variety of bad guys that Butcher comes up with…..however this book is one long action scene from start to finish and no matter how good the writer is this becomes one note very quickly. Large parts of the book were a slog for me.
Positively there are a few very powerful moments in the book, a couple of which could be the best in the series, you just need to get through characters hacking through endless, faceless, henchmen to get there.
