Nice to get another installment. Fun to have Butcher perform the audiobook himself.

Short and sweet little story. Not much to write home about, I’ll probably forget it in a few months, but it was nice to visit Dresden again, it has been a while.

A Wonderful Little Palette Cleanser
After the events of Changes onward, PI work and very human stakes have been short in coming. This was just what the doctor ordered for me and for Dresden.

A low stakes breath of fresh air after the insanity of Battle Ground, that felt much like the Dresden Files of old. I wish there had perhaps been a little bit more action and/or emotional beats, but this just feels like warming us up for what’s to come.

And there it is. I'm caught up. The Law isn't an exceptional story, but it's a nice little adventure to wind down with after Battle Ground. As someone who Side Jobs after Changes, I actually like lower key stories following the major series pivots. Looking forward to Twelve Months whenever that drops. Might give The Codex Alera a shot to tide me over.

Harry Dresden continually extending his mantle of protection to the vulnerable and powerless is what makes him one of my favorite fictional heroes. It gives me hope to know that others enjoy the Dresden File stories for similar reasons.

Sometimes it's best to go back to basics.
A LOT has happened in Harry's world, I won't even try to summarise it all. But suffice to say this was a welcome step back to earlier days of "simple" PI work, Harry and his network, Harry and his friends.

I read this one a while ago, but I enjoyed it. I watched the Dresden Files when the show came out, but never could get into any of the books. I decided to try again last year. I'm a slow reader and finished this in one afternoon, and not having read any other books, or even seen the show in many years, wasn't an issue. I remember thinking, it seemed like the plot was very simple, but there was a lot of excitement. I thought the conclusion was clever.

Nice plot. Nice exploration of moving on. Good pacing. Makes me even more excited for the next book.

What I enjoy most in this book is seeing how far Harry has come from the beginning of the series. In many ways, he has fundamentally changed the way he interacts with people and Cases. This story shows off a lot of those differences by giving Harry a simple Case to solve that intersects with several of his old frenemies.
