Length: 11 hrs and 13 mins

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.

F@king Great

Each story so far has beem better than the last.
I loved this book from start to finish.

a fairy tale like no other

this book takes Dresden into the world of the fae. it is as a whole an introductory book explaining who are the fae of Dresden world, what are the capabilities, who leads them and how they effect the mortal world. this is also the first book where Dresden begins to learn a bit more on his allies both relying on them as well as expaninding up them as characters and true friends of Dresden. on top of all this we also get a much stronger glance at the wizards of the world of dresden as well as their power structure. the figure heads introduced in this book will be major guides and allies of Dresden and help him navigate his world as more and more of this world is introduced. Dresden while a powerful wizard in his own right will be shown as not only a small force within the world of magic but a spec in the seer scale of forces at work around him. but it only takes a small amount of force and one good man to make the tip the scales some times.

Couldn't "put it down"

Amazing! The performance pulls you in just as much as the story. There are enough twists to keep you on your toes and the way it falls together is beautiful!

nyaa

probably my second favorite in the series after cold days! I love meeting the queens in this story, I've listened to it 5 times now!

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.

amazing

amazing narrowrator. and awesome story. best yet in the serie. if you heard the rest it more of the same just much better. ty audible.

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!

Love it!
