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.

Masters is perfect as Harry but recording has a few bumps

I love the choice of James Marsters for Harry Dresden. As always, he replicates Harry's tone perfectly. My only gripe is that he kept mispronouncing a major characters name, Maeve, and mispronounced it two different ways, which was jarring. In an otherwise fine recording, this is minor but it's something smart fantasy readers would notice. I wish they had picked up on it and edited it.

one of my favorites

This is one of my top two or three books in the series, and is the set up for practically every book that comes after. Marsters does a wonderful job reading, striking a great balance between acting the parts and leaving room for the listeners imagination.

Dresden Files finds footing

This is the book that really kicks the Dresden Files into gear...Butcher's twist on Faerie is probably my favorite ever and Marsters is the perfect reader!

Excellent story and narration

Once again, Misters Butcher and Masters provide top notch entertainment in all respects. Apart from some minor quibbles about pronunciation and voice, I have no complaints. 9/10, would recommend to old and new readers alike.
