A lot of these stories I'd read before in other anthologies, but Jim Butcher's a good enough writer I didn't mind reading them again. The other 4 or 5 were brand new to me. Only about half of them feature Harry while the others star his supporting cast. Standouts include the one where Jim Butcher took on explaining the Billy Goat Curse on the Cubs. As a lifelong Cubs fan, I really enjoyed this. He needs to write a followup now that the Cubs broke the curse. I also really like the Molly and theA really fun anthology. Most of these stories were new to me so it was great to get some more views into the world of Harry Dresden. I think my favorites were the three Bigfoot stories, but really there wasn't a bad story in the bunch. If you are a fan of the Dresden Files series I think this is a must read.
4 StarsIt was so awesome to be back in this world (yes, even if this wasn't Peace Talks) and I really enjoyed these short stories. What I liked most is that Harry isn't the only pov character in these. Molly, Maggi and Macrone (and even Mouse!) have their own stories or at least pov scenes and tell stories, that aren't necessarily connected to Harry. Of course some stories were more enjoyable than others, with Cold Case (Molly's first real assignment after what happened in Cold Days) and Day One
Just when I thought I would never see another Harry Dresden book, I get an ARC for number 16! So what does that mean?I've GOTTA PREPARE MYSELF! Wooooooo! A short story collection featuring Harry and a few of the other personalities? The one I didn't read when it came out a few years ago? Yep. That sounds like just the ticket. :)And after reading it, it made me realize that I really did miss Harry. A lot. And now I'm STOKED.
A wonderful collection of short Dresden stories, just enough to tide fans until the next book (Peace Talks) comes out. I've recently binge read the whole series (full review on my blog), so was eager to grab a copy of this novel as soon as it was out.What to ExpectTwelve short stories, mostly published originally elsewhere, with one I believe written specifically for this anthology. They represent smaller cases that Dresden took between the main novels in the series. The earliest is set between
Me when I found out that a new short stories book was coming out during the downtime before Peace Talks:I'll admit, when I started reading this book I was a bit... miffed. Apprehensive. It's been a long time since I'd been in the Dresdenverse, and I'd been spending a lot of time in other universes. I was impatient for a new book.[Now don't get me wrong -- I understand authors are human beings with lives and other responsibilities and they don't exist solely to entertain me. I have sort of a
