dancing_moon | Ghost Story : this is So Good

dancing_moon

Okay.

I really, really, REALLY liked the 13:th Dresden Files book, Ghost Story, by Jim Butcher.

Got it a few days ahead and wrote a little text for it, I'll link that later. But overall? Better tempo, more well-balanced and (despite the fact that Harry's friggin dead) less dark than several of the latest books. This is Butcher finding his voice again.

Also contains interesting Molly development and, despite the fact that he doesn't actually appear on-page, some really cool things dealing with Marcone. As hinted in the Aftermath short story, he and Murphy have become allies by neccessity in the ongoing struggle over Chicago.

The non-spoilery verdict: Awesome! Get it on the 26th!

& it has a nice cover too, it looks a bit pale in online pics but the actual book (I have the US edition) was very pretty
