Battle Ground by Jim Butcher

Thanks to Netgalley for providing a copy of this book for review.
I love superhero movies. I love movies with great big special effects and amazing fight scenes. And this book is ONE BIG FIGHT SCENE. And Butcher knows how to write them! This is all I ever wanted from a Butcher book.
So, I've given you the plot. Ethniu, a Titan, has declared her intention to remake the whole world in her image. She's pissed off about a lot of things and is ready to fight EVERYBODY. This means that the wizard's High Council, the White Court of Vampires, the entire Faerie Court, Gentleman John Marcone and his crew, River Shoulders the sasquatch, and pretty much any character who's ever been in a Dresden book has to come out to fight for the city of Chicago.
Also, the city of Chicago is about to become violently aware that the supernatural exists. The genie's not going back in that bottle.
So, there's not too much more I can say because it's a BIG BRAWL and spoilers abound. There's a pretty massive Chekhov's gun that Harry is gathering on a shelf and I wonder when it will be fired- undoubtedly, as bad as this Big Bad is, there is worse to come. We don't get any real hints of that yet in this book, but clearly everyone is leveling up for a reason.
FUN! I'm waiting for the next one now. Too bad they are so much faster to read than to write!
