Our view
“Ghost Story” is the volume where the Dresden Files deliberately breaks its own formula, and reactions split accordingly. Some readers admire the risk and find the plotting as careful as ever; others are left uneasy by where the story ends up and what it implies. It is a dark book, and some find that its philosophical passages run long. Strictly for readers who have followed the twelve volumes before it.
