When we last left the mighty wizard detective Harry Dresden, he wasn't doing well. In fact, he had been murdered by an unknown assassin.
But being dead doesn't stop him when his friends are in danger. Except now he has no body, and no magic to help him. And there are also several dark spirits roaming the Chicago shadows who owe Harry some payback of their own.
To save his friends—and his own soul—Harry will have to pull off the ultimate trick without any magic...
Interesting spirit-side story. Not the best in the serie in my opinion, but entertaining. I could guess some of the plot points including the last part. We'll see how this develops in the next opus.
Very entertaining nevertheless.
Actually extremely disappointed with this story and the eventual conclusion. Can't 100% articulate it so soon after reading, but there seems to be some implications that don't sit well. Granted, Butcher has been able to pull great stories or if what I felt were bad paths before... Just not excited about this one.
Full review later.
