Review of 'Jim Butcher Set' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Dresden just can't let go. Susan may have become a vampire because of him and he will not rest until he finds a way to cure her. However, not eating, not paying the rent and not showering is not the image of a respectable wizard of the White Council. Billy the werewolf is worried about Dresden and finds him a client that turns out to be the Winter Queen, Mab. To get his freedom back, Dresden has to work for her and the first of three tasks is to find the murderer of the Summer Knight. To make it a more pressing matter, his status as a wizard is also in jeopardy.

This book was so good. I tried to make it last but in the end I was just rushing page after page and completely ignored the pace of the narrator - James Marsters is an excellent narrator, by the way. This book did not have a pause, everything was happening at the same time and I could hear the time running in my head: "tick-tock, tick-tock". What a wonderful magical book! Meep meep!
