Felicia Day does a phenomenal job with this audio drama. It is so funny, and the cast is hilarious. Well worth the credit.

This book was weak compared to others in the series. Butcher’s endless thirst continues (someone just bang that dude already). The plot has a lot of holes and the rambling digressions dilute the plot. The endless torture or Dresden and his friends is beyond tiresome. It was nice to see him diverge from the usual format though. Its just ok. The narration is superb as always.

A Bit Tedious…

The way the plot unfolds and the excessive internal monologue get tedious. The narration is a bit awkward, albeit enthusiastic. The one saving grace is the relationship between the two main characters. If you like math and hard scifi you may enjoy this more than I did. I wanted more plot and fewer equations.

No greater fantasy prose has ever been penned. Full stop. Great narration also. Highly recommend.

Jim Butcher Badly Needs Some Lovin (Skip this one)

This series was pretty good until book 6. Butcher's creepy horny old geek vibe really bursts to the surface in this book. The thirst is a bit much. Im not a sensitive person by any means, but every single female in the series is a goddess that Harry can hardly resist. I mean every single one. Plus, the dialog goes on for weeks. The narrator is excellent.

Read the wiki entry on this one and skip it.

The narrator does an excellent job, but the story is just one random encounter after another. To be fair though, the Caves of Chaos adventure, Keep on the Borderlands, is just a string of random encounters with almost no plot. Worst in the Greyhawk series.

This book starts with a murder in the first sentence and the lace doesn’t let up until the exciting conclusion. Fans of small town murder mysteries and/or serial killers will enjoy this novel.

Not much much happens in this installment. The prompts are too much in this novel.

Joe writes the strongest fantasy books of our time. They dont drag on like GRRM or PR. Also, he is a legitimately funny person and it comes through in the dialog and introspection of the characters.

I love BL and own all of his books, but several are just retreads of older stories. How does this book differ from The Mailman? Or the Store? Or many others. They all follow the very same format and this one really had no plot, just a string of scenes to fill the page requirement. This book was a disappointment.
