Changes

Changes - Jim Butcher

The twelfth installment in Butcher's Dresden Files starts off with a startling statement : "They've taken our daughter."

Okay. This is where they fly to Hawaii to save her, and the Fonz jumps a shark in some slapstick waterskiing competition, right?

So wrong. I was expecting the worst - I'll admit it! But I was generally pleased.

At times, it read like it would be the very last adventure for Dresden. A lot of characters came back to pay off old debts, situations changed in monumental ways, and.. well, I screamed at the end. No, really. Screamed. Ask my fiancee, since it woke him up.

Now, what was in that scream? Anger? Sadness? Rage? Annoyance? Read it. It's completely worth it.
