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 […]

THOUGHTS

Battle Ground (The Dresden Files, #17) by Jim Butcher

November 11, 2020 by narfna 2 Comments

I am going to do the opposite of what I did for Peace Talks for this book, which is I’m not going to write hardly anything, and only one thing will be under spoiler tags. If you have read the book, you know what that thing is. So, bullet points! I do not think either of these books was really served well by being split in two. I think they should have been one big book, and maybe cut like 100 pages from both. Maybe […]

Harry’s back, and this is only the first of the books we get this year

Peace Talks by Jim Butcher

September 28, 2020 by Malin Leave a Comment

No rating until I’ve read the second part of the story. Spoiler warning! This is book 16 in a long, ongoing series. This really isn’t the place to start. 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 me on the series. Official book description: When the Supernatural nations of the world meet […]

Most of this review is whited out spoilers, because I just needed to say some things.

Peace Talks (The Dresden Files, #16) by Jim Butcher

September 4, 2020 by narfna 7 Comments

No fifth star here, folks. What we’ve got here is a part one of two situation. This is basically the first book in a duology inside the series proper, with Battle Ground being part two. We now know why the surprise second book! And I can’t fully judge this one until I see how (most of) it turns out. Luckily, September 29th isn’t that far away. I had to step away from this one for a bit to try and see what Butcher was going […]
