This had be a string contender for the best of the Dresden novels. Then the gimmick ending came along, dropping this from a high four to a middling three stars.

I have never reacted so much to a book before. So many surprises, good suspense, great story, great writing. Can't wait for the next one!

The through line of this book was weak. There were clearly beats and plot points that needed to be hit, but there was no impetus or movement for them. They didn't feel earned rightly. I get what the author was going for, but it was slippery.
That being said, the book kicks like a mule,l at times.

After what felt like 40 identical descriptions of how the protagonist pushed his anger down inside him before going off for more derring-do I literally yelled “I can’t take this any more” and gave up.

I wish I could give this book 10 stars. It was amazing from first to last page - amazing, exciting, heartbreaking, and about as major a cliff hanger as one can get.
