Rendition Supposing Books Small Favor (The Dresden Files #10)
Hell’s bells, this series just keeps on getting better and better!! During a blizzard in Chicago, yellow page advertising wizard Harry Dresden is summoned by the queen of Winter, Mab, who calls in a favour she is owed. The Denarians are back and they are the main foes in this story. The book also features Gruffs (as in the brothers Gruff, referred to by Harry as “were-goats”), the Archive, Marcone and the Knights of the cross. This book is one of the deeper books in the series. It asks some questions about right and wrong. I was welling up when Harry starts shouting at God in the church. Format Book format: Audiobook narrated by James Marsters Length: 13hrs 46mins Difficulty: Easy POV characters: One – Harry Dresden Person: First Chronology: Linear Butcher’s writing makes the book easy to digest and the fact that it’s told through Harry’s point of view makes it really easy to follow. Characters Butcher has created a bunch of characters that I’ve grown very fond of. They have all developed through the course of the series and I love the fact that there isn’t a reset at the end of these books. The characters and the world is always different which gives each book a sense of purpose and they all add to the larger storyline. Dresden’s abilities are really growing and he always learns something new. In book one, his magic is still being worked on but they are almost epic here at book ten. Dresden has to be one of the coolest, and yet most human characters out there. Writing The writing does its job, it takes you through the action, explains the magic and the world very clearly and transports you from A to B. Its very humorous, there are tonnes of laugh out loud moments that fans of the series have come to expect. Likeith thou jelly within thy donut? Sanity invited shame over for tea and biscuits You rush a miracle worker, you get lousy miracles We’re ostriches and the whole world is sand Final thought I’d say this series is a great place for anyone who’s looking to start reading. It’s simply the coolest, most fun, kick ass, character driven series there is. Butcher does a great job of explaining and recapping things so you don’t really need to read it in order, but I’d recommend you pick it up from the start. This is one of my favourite series ever and the audiobooks are just fantastic. Can’t recommend it highly enough.Present Books In Pursuance Of Small Favor (The Dresden Files #10)

Another solid story with a stellar narration, even if I think James Marsters is sort of backtracking and doing fewer distinct voices. I'm crazy addicted to this story, and I simply don't think it is possible for me to not enjoy one of these books. This plot was, again, sort of all of the place and complicated, but Jim Butcher makes it work. I can't give less than 4 stars. On to the next!Executive Summary: Another great entry in the series. Instead of running on too long and rehashing old ideas, Mr. Butcher keeps ratcheting things up and making you want more.Audio book: James Marsters? Check. Awesome reading? Check. He has me dreading Ghost Story, because I know he won't be reading it. I really can't imagine anyone else doing this series justice. Full Review This one is even better than I remember, but still not quite as enjoyable for me as White Night is. I'm not really sure

I recently realized I didn't give this book a real review last time. So i will today!I'm weird about audiobooks. I can't listen to a book I've never read, but I also get kind of bored listening to books I've already read. Weird situation. This was my first Dresden Files audiobook and man am I glad I chose this one. Small Favor reminds me why I love this series. It's got all my favorite characters and my favorite villain(s). We've got Mouse, Toot-Toot, Molly, Murphy, Ivy and Michael. And my
OH shizzle! This book was intense. Excellent though, and I loved the humor. I actually really enjoy the faith aspects of these books too, which isn't something that you'll see me say very often. I just really appreciate how Butcher manages issues of Good and Evil and God, god(s) and religion, or not so much religion but faith. I love Harry and I love these books. That's all that really needs to be said.
Note the five stars and take what follows for what it's worth.I'm a few books ahead -- I'm just behind on posting. But this book, and another one to come, confirmed what I began to suspect a book or two ago, which is that Jim Butcher has developed a poker tell.I don't want to say much or I'll spoil the suspense for you the way Butcher has started to for me. I'll try to be vague enough that you won't know what I mean until you finish the book, look back with this review in mind, and get it. Maybe
When Mab, the Winter Queen, comes to cash in on one of the favors Harry owes her, things go from bad to worse. And snow won't stop falling on Chicago. Could the two possibly be related?Instinct told me that reason had disappointed me more than once, and that it wasn't thinking in the long term anyway. Over the years, my instincts and I have gotten cozy. pg 57, ebook.Memorable characters from the previous entries in The Dresden Files make a reappearance in this, the tenth book in the series. We
