![]() But where Skin Game did everything right, this one seemed really half-hearted. I get that the author was saving it for the big confrontation at the end, but I spent half the book yelling, "JUST TELL HIM!!!" at the pages.Īt its core, this book is, pretty much the same story type as Skin Game. The book has some really frustrating moments in it, due to Dresden actively choosing not to communicate. It's not bad, I was just hoping for a bit more fun, and a bit less moping around. In comparison, this book is kind of really dull, which is a bit disappointing after how long it's been since the previous book, and just how good that previous book was. And a really great sendoff for my favorite Dresden sidekick. 7 years is a long time and the book keeps referencing events and characters that I either outright do not remember, or only vaguely remember.Īlso, the previous book was just a really fun, really entertaining adventure. ![]() I may need to go back and read some of them, or at least look up a character and event list. It's been about 7 years since the previous book in the series, and I haven't reread any of the other books in the series during that time. This book feels like one of Butcher's Dresden novellas or short stories stretched out into full novel length, but lacking enough substance to be interesting once lengthened. It picks up at the end, but that doesn't really save it from mediocrity. ![]()
