And it works. Reading this, I could feel tension in the air. Dominions are being set up for something big. Imagine seeing a tornado coming towards you over the horizon. That’s the feeling I got.
Overall, I really liked this book. It’s packed with my favorite things in stories: “Water Cooler Moments”, or just characters bantering with each other, and heavier, personal drama among them. Character moments, basically.

It's been six full years since Butcher published the previous Dresden Files novel, if you don't count the short story collection Brief Cases (and I don't). Unless you're one of the people who still haven't given up on George R.R. Martin or Patrick Rothfuss (which I'm honestly close to doing, just finish the books, guys), that's a very long wait in between installments of an ongoing fantasy series.
