Summary: In this third book of the Dresden Files, Harry Dresden, the only private detective Wizard in Chicago, begins the story by fighting a ghouly of ghosts (ghosts come in ghoulies, right?) scared up by…what? He doesn’t know. Soon, he becomes entangled in (seemingly unrelated) vampire politics as well. (Of course, everything’s related in a Dresden Files book, but whatever.) Can the most impolitic of people act with diplomacy if the need arises? (The answer is: of course not.)
My thoughts: Another winner in the Dresden Files books. I really enjoyed this one, although (as you can tell by my sarcasm above) I do think they are getting a little formulaic in the sense that Dresden is hit by a whole bunch of unrelated stuff all at once, and then it all gets tied up in a neat little bow at the end of the story. Other than that, the stories are quite interesting. I was so eager to get to the next one (despite my resolution to read one a month), that I’ve already finished it. I’ll review it at the end of the month, and try to catch up on some of my other reviews this and next week. 🙂

These things do tend to get a bit formulatic. However, the series does sound like fun. Maybe the author will vary things up a bit as the series goes on. These things do tend to get a bit formulatic.

Yes, the series is a lot of fun, and I don’t mind the formulaic character of the plots at the moment. They are still very interesting.

This is a fun series…although I didn’t enjoy the last ones as much as the first ones. Be sure to keep reading until you meet Mouse. He’s awesome! 😀

I plan on reading the whole series this year…I guess if I get sick of them I’ll stop. But for now that’s my plan.
