Review of 'Small favor' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Harry Dresden is a wizard and a moving target for just about any supernatural entity there is. The Winter Queen Mab wants him to pay part of his debt (2 out of 3 favors), which involves battling demonic creatures, and Summer entities keep chasing him on behalf of their queen. There is not enough mess in the magic world if it involves Harry. And it is again a great mess, fast paced with a lot of weird things happening at the same time and more secrets revealed regarding the Black Council. A big war is building up and I cannot wait to read more about it. By the way, James Marsters' reading of this book is superb as always.
