Looking at it as a novella, this had everything I wanted from a Dresden story. It was a good introduction to a post-Battle Ground Dresden and world, with what it's like in the aftermath. I also liked that it was a (relatively) back to basics detective story.

I liked the presence of several of my favourite characters, and the introduction of a couple new ones.

I wasn't the biggest fan of the resolution. It felt slightly like a cop-out. Though it was fitting given the players involved, and I think it shows how Dresden has matured.

Now all I want is the next book!!
