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.

Too bad, it could have been a great story...

I love the idea of this book and the story lines, unfortunately the toxic masculinity began to overwhelm the story and became intolerable. In solidarity with Women and Girls everywhere, I do not recommend this book or series. It's really too bad.

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

Love Harry

Some uncomfortable fat phobia/slut shaming but pretty damn good for 2002. Love the way Butcher writes magic.

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.

Well written, excellent narration.

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

Love this series!

James has done it, again! I already loved Jim's series, but with James reading it, I love it even more! Such great ability for doing different voices and inflections. Very enjoyable experience!
