Holy $#&%!
First off, the title scared me when I first read about it being the next title after finishing Turn Coat. And change is always scary. Harry points out that "the only thing certain in life is change," and this book certainly gives him plenty of that. A lot is revealed. A lot is destroyed. And I don't dare say much more than that...
I will say, this book really hit the emotions for me. I found myself laughing out loud multiple times, crying at others (particularly at Harry's final choice), and often having to put the book down for a moment while I absorbed what had just happened in a particular passage.

Really, I have to wait until July to see what happens?!
Wow... this book is by far the best of the series if you're reading it in order. The plot, the revelations, the political intrigue, and the finale of the book are fantastic.
i am now 12 books into The Dresden Files and the series is going strong. this entry throws some wicked curves at Harry and leaves with the ultimate cliffhanger ending. i enjoyed the great battle scenes and the new characters, but i am getting a little tired of Jim Butcher's extremely consistent style...if i had had to read about how tire Harry was in one more chapter, i would have thrown the book at the wall... hopefully the next book's theme will be less obtrusive. i will, of course, keep reading the series...i think i am almost caught up to real time. gotta find out what happens to Harry after he ------ on the last page... :)

Ok. That was most definitely cruel, Jimothy.

Alright, I wasn't about this book til the end. Well, the opening line peaked my interest & the end was huge! The middle bit was ok.
This book changes everything and it’s amazing. One arc of Harry Dresden’s life ends and holy geez what is coming next? (Yes, this is the vaguest review ever. I’m okay with it because I absolutely would not have wanted to be spoiled and you shouldn’t either with this epic sprawling story.)
