This was the best book of 2012 for me. It had stiff competition but it won, big ! There was not one page, one paragraph that did not hold me glued with intense trepidation and excitement. The intensity was relieved by bits of humor, that had me giggling off the adrenaline rush at just the perfect moment. The one before I started getting another grey hair. LOL I thank you Mr. Butcher, it was one hell of a ride !
Short take- Harry conquers his inner Darth.

I'll be honest, did not see a lot of this coming. When I read I don't like to make predictions about what's going to happen, or what I think the author is planning, it tends to ruin the experience for me, but this book....oh my. Even if I wanted to guess I wouldn't have been right, Butcher knocked it out of the park, my only regret is that I finished it so quickly and now will have to wait for the next book to come out before I can crawl inside Harry Dresden's world again.

Always fun when you can hear "dum dum DUM!" in your head while reading the end of a novel.

Nope, couldn't do it. If I had to read about one more stacked, hot woman throwing herself at Harry, I was going to rip all the hair out of my head--and I like my hair a lot more than I liked this book. The Molly factor especially annoys me because it's just plain gross. Seriously, it's gross. My advice is to lay off it, Jim Butcher. In fact, my advice is to stop objectifying the female characters in your books altogether. Just. Please. Stop.
Changes was the last great Dresden novel,and it's sad for me to watch a series I used to love go so sideways. I think it's time for Harry to retire permanently. His ship has sailed, his shark has been jumped, and any other cliche you want to work in here. I should probably make a Star Wars reference, in keeping with the MANY in this book.
You know what? Write a book about Thomas. Thomas is a character who is interesting, has inner turmoil, and has grown over the series. Harry, not so much. I loved him so much in the beginning, but now he just seems stuck in middle school.
Bye, Harry. It's been a good run but this time it's not me, it's you. It's definitely you, my old friend.
