#28 Small Favor by Jim Butcher

[missingvolume]

I have to say up front that I love these books and the series keeps building on each book and just really works for me. Harry is a flawed wizard but he seems to be coming into learning more about himself by having to teach Molly. You find out more about the knights and the coins in this book.  Some fae politics show up but nothing like Summer Knight. There is more info about the wizard world but nothing overwhelming the book. Butcher writes a compelling universe and I am very interested on reading more.

Small Favor was the very first book I bought for my Kindle (my anniversary present) since it was released nearly the same day I got the e-reader. Because the latest Dresden Files or Naomi Novik's Dragon series or C.J. Cherryh's Foreigner books are my favorite "drop everything" pleasure reads, the instant-gratification factor of the Kindle download was perfect. I blazed through it in a day or so.

I enjoyed the latest installment; while not the best of the series, it's up there. I find the backstory and the world-building really interesting, though I'll occasionally skim the fight scenes. (Just like I fast-forward through the Final Showdown scenes at the end of every comic book movie. *Yawn*.) Love all the pop-culture references; Dresden (or Butcher) is clearly of my generation.

Dresden's a terrific character and really growing & changing with the series. Great, check-your-brain-at-the-door, fun reads.

Hey, BTW, G. - my buddies had a GREAT time hanging with you at Oasis! A highlight of their weekend, apparently.

It may not be high litachure but it sure is fun.

Had fun hanging with them as well. The dealer's room was dead at that con.
