Wow.
Just...wow.
This was Harry Dresden's AVENGERS: ENDGAME episode, and honestly, I don't get all the grumbling about how it was one long action scene. Look at the book that preceded it, at all the set-up that book did to lead to this. Look at the actual title of this book. OF COURSE it's pretty much one long battle.
And, as far as I'm concerned, Butcher utterly nailed it.
It's rare that I want to both devour a book just to get to the end, yet want to hold off and make it last because the ride is just so incredible. But this book did that. It's a freaking rollercoaster, and Butcher doesn't shy away from killing off some of the players.
I don't want to say too much, but seven months ago (to the day, in fact) that I wrote my first review for the Dresden Files, and said that it was "fun" but I also ended on a cautious "Let's see where it goes from here" note...I never expected it to end here (so far).
This series, since about the fifth book in, has almost consistently exceeded my expectations in every way, and this (so far) is the culmination of that. I truly enjoyed every second of my reading experience with this one.
It's gonna be hard to beat.
Because...
...wow.
Just...wow.

This book dragged on! I had a hard time getting through it, and I actually took a break from it 2/3 of the way through.
