If Spike is reading, I’m listening

Fool Moon: The Dresden Files, Book 2 by Jim Butcher

January 18, 2021 by ardaigle 1 Comment

Back for another installment of The Dresden Files, as read to me by the impeccable James Marsters, aka, Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. If listening to him read is wrong than I don’t want to be right. He is so soothing in my airpods, just the perfect pandemic listen. He has just the right gravel in his voice to BE Harry Dresden, wizard detective, and the acting chops to make the other characters distinctive and interesting: all in all, a very solid audio performer. […]

Storm Front by Jim Butcher

January 4, 2021 by andtheIToldYouSos 4 Comments

Have you ever been approached by a grim-looking man, carrying a naked sword with a blade about ten miles long in his hand, in the middle of the night beneath the stars on the shores of Lake Michigan? Until very recently my answer was a “definitely not”. Now, thanks to crystalclear for sending this book my way during the 2020 Book Exchange, my answer has changed: YES! By proxy, at least. I have been acquainted with the big swordy fella and many other weirds that […]

A whole lot of fighting happens

Battle Ground by Jim Butcher

December 21, 2020 by Malin 1 Comment

Spoiler warning! This is book 17 in a long, ongoing series. This really isn’t the place to start. In fact, this book doesn’t even work on its own, so don’t even think to read this review if you’re not caught up. Normally, I’d recommend that you start with book 1, but the first three books of The Dresden Files are pretty bad, so you’d be better off starting with book 4, Summer Knight. I highly recommend the audio books, narrated by James Marsters. They’re what finally sold […]

Dresden Returns!

Peace Talks by Jim Butcher

Battle Ground by Jim Butcher

December 15, 2020 by kittenkong42 Leave a Comment

After a longer than usual gap Harry Dresden returned this year in not one, but two, books. Well… kind of. The reality is that Peace Talks and Battle Ground are really one book that got too long for the publisher and so it got split. At a guess this lengthened the writing process as there would have been some rework to try and create a division and narrative for both books. It didn’t entirely work which is why I didn’t review until I’ve had the […]

Scooting on My Arse, Flying Between Fight Scenes. And I’m Failing to Articulate

Battle Ground by Jim Butcher

December 8, 2020 by LittlePlat 2 Comments

  So, I have to admit, it has taken me a good long while to gather my thoughts on this one. So sorry if it comes across as a bit disorganised. What I am confident in through is my assertion when reviewing Peace Talks that we were only getting only the one story across two books. And after reading both, I’m still not sure that this was the best idea. The two books cannot be read as stand-alone. At all. The books share the structure […]
