It was a promising start to a series.  I liked all of the major characters, and the world was interesting. 
I would have liked to see more of the cat familiar.  I was hoping it would go home with Grimsby or Mayflower.  It's kind of sad if it's left all alone.

I was glad to see that so far at least Butcher has avoided Grimsby being the specialist Unorathdox that ever lived and so far he really has a limited repertoire of spells, though he does get a lot of use out of them.
