Our view
The tenth Dresden Files novel is heavy on action even for this series, and some readers who have come this far count it among their favourites. Harry Dresden and his companions remain the main draw: likeable, funny and capable of real feeling between the fights. Some find the pacing uneven in places, and others rank it among the weaker entries. Newcomers should begin with the first book.
