This is a solid installment in the Harry Dresden series, but not among my favourites. I found the plot rather slow and plodding but there is much more concerning the relationships Harry has with his allies and enemies. It's a good read for fans of the series but weak as a standalone novel.

Book 10 of the Dresden Files

The Winter Queen asks Harry for a small favour.

Add were-goats; demonic fallen angels; holy knights; an archive and a hellhound; a gentleman gangster, his bodyguard and Guard; Murphy and Luccio; and Thomas. Stir, let simmer for a few chapters and the whole pot will definitely boil over.

Andrew65 Brilliant, only another 7 - 10 to go, depending on whether you read the novellas 👏👏👏 2y
TheSpineView Were-goats! That a new one for me. Great job 2y

Since it was a slow Friday so far (Not!!!), I made some biscuits. Don't ask. Sometimes I worry why I cramm my days like that.

Anyway, I was #audiobaking and hence the time wasn't wasted. 😁

Now some #audioknitting.

A little #audiocrafting with #huey. He suddenly cares about yarn. 🙃 Lennox has already caused one yarn incident, so we‘re very careful around here. Started my first temperature blanket. It‘s so much fun, but will be quite the commitment!! #catsoflitsy

🎧 “Punctuality is for people with nothing better to do”

Oh, Mr Butcher, you‘re speaking my language. 🤗

Were-goats!! YESSS!

This was a quick fun FAST PACED story! This is book 10, almost the halfway mark of the series so far.

More typical Harry in a story with … Murphy, Michael, Thomas, Kincaid, Molly, Guard, Marcone, Sanja, Mab, Knights of the Cross, the archive, Nicodemus & the denarians.

But seriously … WERE-GOATS!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Hell‘s Bells this is such a good series! So action packed and never boring. The entire cast of characters is amazing and well developed. The Dresden Files is always a joy to read. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Plots grow more intricate as Summer comes after Dresden while Winter's Queen Mab has commanded him to be her emissary. And the Denarians are back in town to make things even more dangerous...as Dresden finds he needs to help Marcone.

#BookReport - Finished 5 books this week. Most were really great.

Currently reading A Court of Thorns and Roses on audio. I‘ve never read this series before and figured I‘d give it a try. I also picked up The Other Black Girl yesterday and am actually about 90 pages into Piranesi. (I created this earlier 🤣)

#WeeklyForecast - Will pick up my 2 #LMPBC books! A Thousand Ships and If I Never Met You.

Cinfhen I do that ALL THE TIME!! Create my graphics and then promptly start reading and adding different book 😆 4y

I definitely missed having James Marsters read this to me, but still enjoyed this book. (My library didn‘t have it on audio).

I‘m really enjoying getting back into this world and seeing what Harry is up to. I can‘t wait to pick up the next one.

#DoubleSpin #JoysofJune - I think that‘s book 3 done, I haven‘t been keeping track.

TheAromaofBooks I've been meaning to read this series forever!! 4y

#BookTech - just got these book holders in the mail. It came with a pack of 3. Seems to be for different size books. They hold the book open and it‘s pretty flexible when flipping the pages.

We‘ll see how it holds up. It only seems to be for paperbacks. I guess you don‘t really need them for hardbacks but 🤷🏻‍♀️

LibrarianRyan I have had my Gimble for years. They made some advancements but mine still hold up 4y

Very cools story and, again, continuing lots of plot elements. Fey intrigue is, imo, the best part of the series!

#favor #reallyrandomfebruary I have the first book in this series (Dresden Files) on my TBR. This one is like number 10 or something. Yikes. So I have yet to read it and therefore not sure if this titular “Small Favor” is as advertised. @OriginalCyn620 @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

While I‘m waiting for Jim Butcher to finally get around to finishing the 16th book in this series, I‘m rereading all of them out loud to my husband.

Schlinkles @Seekingtardis Agreed! And he needs to get a move on with the Cinder Spire series too! 6y

On Libby, my library had a 6 month wait on this book. I couldn't wait that long so I subscribed to a free trial of Audible and got this book and the next in the series for free. 😊 Happy I didn't have to wait.

A couple of years ago, I decided to listen to all of the Dresden Files audiobooks, despite the fact I read every one when they come out. (James Marsters may have been a deciding factor in that.) This isn't one of my favorites, but I still recognized much of it. #readinglog #fantasy #urbanfantasy

Harry Dresden fights a cadre of fallen angels with a little help from his friends. This series is a bit formulaic -- same sarcastic dialogue, same overwhelming odds against beating unstoppable enemies, same beat-up Blue Beetle -- yet somehow it doesn't get old. I always have fun with Harry and friends.

🌟Ruined spines make me sad. Most of my books that are ruined are from trying to take off Thriftbooks stickers. I think they changed them some time ago, but I'm still a little nervous to order from there anymore.🌟

LeahBergen Grr. 😠 Their stickers are monstrous and evil. 8y
