Publisher's Summary

Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden is a very powerful wizard and a dedicated private eye. He is also a wise cracking trouble magnet. Fueled by a tempest of guilt, sleep deprivation, malnutrition, bad temper and frankly awful personal grooming. Harry is hurtling toward oblivion. According to Harry that is nobody's business but his own.

The Winter Queen of Faerie manipulates him into accepting a case to solve a murder and stop a war between the courts of Summer and Winter that could have literally earth shattering consequences. His own soul is up for grabs. Dresden must dig deep to discover that at time a willingness to accept a little help from your friends, be they a cub pack of werewolves, old loves in sheep's clothing, or a battalion of pizza loving dewdrop fairies, is a very good thing.

unregrettable

these books just keep getting better. I enjoyed the first two, but I wasn't sure if I was going to keep reading the series. I'm glad I chose to continue.

Perfect pairing

I love The Dresden Files and James Marsters. Putting them together was just a brilliant move! James’s voice acting really brings the characters to life. I did start at the beginning of the series, but this is the first review I’ve written. But I’d say the same thing for each audiobook- absolutely fabulous!!! I hate comparing book series, but the easiest way to describe The Dresden Files series is to call it the adult version of Harry Potter. Definitely worth checking out

more of the same fun action, with heart.

really can't complain about this book at all, it covers all the familiar bases as the last books in way that's still engaging, story is of the quality you'd expect from J Butcher, and Marsters does an equally satisfying performance, with an ending feels good. it's nice to see Harry grow a little bit over the course of each novel.

Awesome!!!

The narrator is the perfect pick for the character. He sounds like an old radio show private eye with so much more depth and interesting personality! Love this series!!

Well written, excellent narration.

couple cringe worthy pronunciations, like sigil (Siggill), rune (ruin). but overall, very well voiced and emoted

Classic Jim Butcher

Just started reading his novels and am blown away at his originality! Easy to follow along in the Audio format. James does a great narration of it, bringing the characters to life. The odd time the pronunciation sounds off but that's just me being picky. Great book and can't wait to continue the series! #Audible1

summer knight

I am doing a reread of the series in preparation for peace talks. I had forgotten how funny summer knight was. maybe it's good we are self isolated right now or people would have been staring at the crazy lady laughing like a loon. I thoroughly enjoyed this one. Deserves all five stars.
