Quite possibly the best book I've ever read. The highest stakes without ever feeling like it jumped the shark
I'm in shock! Changes puts the dresden files to a whole new level for me :O I think I have to change the rating from Turn Coat to a 4... Or this one is just a 10 in comparison xD definitely the best one in the series until now. It just had everything, from funny moments to heartbreaking scenes. Much more action. Loved it! And I hate u butcher for that cliffhanger! XD

Fuck. Jim Butcher was not kidding when he named this book Changes. If I were to describe this book in 3 words I’d say, Shit Goes Down. So many things end, some new things begin, deals are made, revelations are had. I enjoyed myself immensely while reading this. At one point there’s basically an Avengers: Endgame moment and I’m all for it. It ends on a cliffhanger and I can’t wait to see what’s next.

I had mixed feelings about this. Around the middle of the book, the mini side quests to gather information or find allies started to feel a bit repetitive. Dresden would go talk to someone, and they would either refuse to help or offer cryptic clues, rinse and repeat. That said, I really enjoyed seeing so many characters from previous books make an appearance, and the plot picked up significantly towards the end. There was a lot more action, higher stakes, and the ending was both realistic and heartbreaking.
I also struggled a bit with the justification behind the Red Court’s actions. I understood Arianna’s personal motivation and why the others allowed her to carry out her revenge (it was her right), but the scale of the ritual to curse a single family felt excessive and hard to believe. Lastly, as always, the hypersexualization of female characters was frustrating and completely unnecessary.
