I enjoyed [b:Summer Knight|91478|Summer Knight (The Dresden Files, #4)|Jim Butcher|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1345557469s/91478.jpg|912988] far more than [b:Grave Peril|91476|Grave Peril (The Dresden Files, #3)|Jim Butcher|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1345557222s/91476.jpg|803205], but it was still not at all [a:Jim Butcher|10746|Jim Butcher|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1205261964p2/10746.jpg] at his best. That being said, I have a weakness for stories about the Fae, particularly when they behave badly. The introduction of multiple queens fascinated me. Overall, this book is a four, barely, if only because of the tension. It felt more real than the prior book.

The Summer Knight was murdered and the Winter Queen now has Harry's debt and offer's him freedom for three completed tasks. The first to find the murderer. This first task takes him into the incredibly intense world of Fae politics'. Harry, poor Harry is betrayed, wounded, abused, heart broken and beaten and still has a wonderful sense of humor. I laughed out loud several times I loved this book. Billy the were is one of my favorite side characters.

This is where it starts getting really good. The first forays into the wider world of the Sidhe courts and the white council. Excited to continue on the journey.
