Summer Knight

The Dresden Files, Book 4

De: Jim Butcher

Narrado por: James Marsters

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.

Welcome to Faire!

Jim Butcher hits his stride with Summer Knight and introduces us to the remainder of his core of main characters for the near future. The Knights of Faire have been brought into the picture and Dresden has to solve the murder of one of them. All while staying in the Queens of Faire's good graces and out of the clutches of his godmother who wishes to turn him into one of her hounds. If he fails the world of Faire becomes a battlefield between the Summer Court and the Winter Court, and the world as we know it has a massive weather shift. The stakes have never been higher, nor the task more daunting.

Butcher brings back Harry Dresden with a bang, and delivers the crowning moment of his series up until this point. Everything seems to come together in this work and truly shows the world Butcher is trying to create. He finds his stride and makes this work shine.

James Marsters is back and continues to show why he's the voice of Harry Dresden. His work on the Dresden files is truly fantastic and he doesn't let up for a moment in Summer Knight.

Good story, okay performance

Runes and ruins are not the same. I could see it being an error a few times, but its constant and having done several books, the reader should know better by now.

Great book in an Enthralling Series!

I really enjoyed this book and have become hooked on the series. I thought I might be dissappointed in the narration after listening to the Codex Alera series first (Kate Reading is my FAVORITE reader), but James Marsters does a great job.

Unfortunately,I just realized that audible does not have books 5-7 available, which is extremely frustrating.

A slight twist of suspense, but plenty of humor

Awesome book! James Marsters delivered an impeccable performance in this book. When I started with Book 1, it took me a few chapters to get used to his audible gruntings, breathing and swallowing...then after that, he grows on you. The author will keep you guessing in this book, enough that it will keep you glued to your earphones. I didn't find any dull moments compared to the first three books. I love having the Audible apps on my Droid. I can just easily plug it in my car via AUX and listen to the book on my way to work and back; it definitely makes my drive pleasurable, despite being stuck in traffic. I am looking forward to the rest of the books.

repartion repartion. .....

i like the story well enough, but there is so much repartion of info. every book does this.... about the mirrors. the eye gaze.what Harry looks like...omg. one of the reason i like abook series is that you get to know the charaters... this constant recapping is annoying. if im reading book 4... I KNOW THIS STUFF. if by chance i start at book 4 then if the story engages me i will most likely read the previous.
