Small Favor
by Jim Butcher, 420 pages, hardcover
Author's Website
Overall Grade: A-
Series: The Dresden Files
Sequel to 'White Night'.
Sometimes the Dresden File books are spot-on, sometimes they feel a little off. This one was a little off, for me anyway. Oh, don't get me wrong, there's lots of the usual suspects (good and bad), as well as some new members and minions. But there's a lot of plot-building in this novel too. Laying the groundwork for more future Dresden stories we hope. So without revealing spoilers for this book, I'll say that it's about Marcone being abducted, the Queen of Winter calling in a favor, and Harry finding somebody to carry Fidelacchius. It's good.
