The new novel in the New York Times bestselling Dresden Files series.
No one's tried to kill Harry Dresden for almost an entire year, and his life finally seems to be calming down. For once, the future looks fairly bright. But the past casts one hell of a long shadow.
An old bargain has placed Harry in debt to Mab, monarch of the Winter Court of the Sidhe, the Queen of Air and Darkness-and she's calling in her marker. It's a small favor he can't refuse...one that will trap Harry Dresden between a nightmarish foe and an equally deadly ally, and one that will strain his skills- and loyalties-to their very limits.
It figures. Everything was going too well to last...

Summary: great story!!
Comment: I've come to enjoy the "Dresden Files," and I can't wait for the next installment. "Why not rate 5 stars?," you ask? Well...there were more errors of spelling and grammar than I find acceptable. I don't think I'm a prude about such things, but I do have a limit. For instance, I couldn't find a single example of "praying mantis" not spelled "preying mantis," and it's repeated numerous times because of the storyline; I found it to be downright distracting. Errors also included subject/verb disagreements (makes me sound like an English teacher!), although these seem to be quite common these days.
My rating is 5 stars for story and 4 for editing, although 4 1/2 isn't an option on the scale. Keep them coming!!!

Summary: Great finish
Comment: I've been a fan of the series for it's tight plotting, interesting characters and developed world. The book started a bit slow for me, and some of the beginning seemed per forma. Fortunately, Butcher plots very well and once the story got going it sucked me in like a new Kirby, with a very interesting and challenging finish.

Summary: Fantastic book!
Comment: Truly one of the best books in The Dresden Files.
Small Favor feels like Harry is maturing and facing up to many of his new-found responsibilities. The action is fast paced and very exciting!

Summary: excellent as usual
Comment: I'm a big fan of this series and have not yet been disappointed.
This book is exciting from the very beginning to the end. Can't wait for
the next one. I will however recommend that you start at the beginning
of the series to meet all the characters and learn the plot. I highly recommend this book. It is pure reading pleasure!!

Summary: Dresden Files - Small favor
Comment: I loved this latest Dresden Files novel. I love all of them, but this one was great. This is the one a really fine movie could be made of, in its entirety. The fight at the Shedd Aquarium would certainly work, as well as the final scene on the little island, with Harry strangling Nicodemos.
