What a page turner! Truly one of my favorites, if not the favorite book in this series up till this point.
Turn Coat brings many of the story lines from book 1 until 10 together (okay Marcone was missing in this one). But as Harry tries to help his nemesis Morgan out, we see the werewolves, white court, faeries, white council (yes seniors as well), black council and slight spoilers.
Many of our favorite characters get roles and character development. Murphy, Molly, Thomas, Morgan of course, Luccio, Billy and Georgia, yes even Toot-toot. And the plot moves forward as we learn more about the different forces in the senior council as well.
And everything comes together perfect. There are great plot twists, exciting mysteries, and mind-boggling action (pun intended).
Be prepared, but most importantly, enjoy, while reading!

A skinwalker that is at a completely different level than anything we've seen before in terms of power, cunning and crueltyMany of our favorite characters get roles and character development.

Holy crap, I finally ran out of Dresden Files. AND I've watched all the shows on Hulu. What am I going to do with myself??
Seriously, these were fun, clever, consistent yet fresh, and sparing on the sex scenes, which was a nice change of pace in this genre. And after 6 or 8 of them the pacing got better, i.e. not just making things increasingly scary and more impossible so that we can all be relieved and impressed when the world doesn't end.
My only other complaint is I wish there wasn't an author photo in the back. I really tried to picture Dresden as the guy in the SciFi series, but I kept picturing a guy who looked more like the author... and I'd rather he didn't. The end.

The writing is amazing. I don't mean the story but the words chosen by the author. They weave together beautifully. It really encapsulates the unwavering hope that Harry keeps for people even after everything he's seen. The story itself isn't awful but certainly doesn't reach the heights of other entries. Also, the gatekeeper has Darth Vader vibes. I wonder if he's related to Harry.
It does contain my favoriteplot twist of the whole series. I was practically yelling at the author because of how suddenly he had objectified Luccio in the last few books. Revealing that she had her mind twisted into exactly what Harry desired was perfect. Although I'm not sure if Butcher had thought of that when he first introduced the plotline. Anyways, I hope Harry takes this lesson to heart.
