Everything was going too well to last...

Review of 'Small Favor' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Probably the weakest Dresden in a while. The books have been getting more and more character driven and where this still had some, it also lacked any real meat. I also felt that as the bad guys are getting bigger and badder, it's becoming more and more unrealistic (I know... Urban FANTASY) in the realm of the universe previously setup.

For me, the Dresden Files work best when the overall arc comes together. Small Favor does well in that regard, bringing back a host of old 'friends', including the Knights Michael and Sanya, summer and winter sidhe, Denarians, Marcone, and the crew you have come to associate with participating in Dresden's adventures.

The final confrontation is excellently paced, probably among the best I have read in the series so far.

The plot thickens in Harry Dresden's world, and bad things are afoot.

As always, a fast and an enjoyable read.
