No more risky activities such as camping in the woods or Oh I know he's free, this is to him a livelihood or should that be "lively hood" , a way to make a living an irk At most, it's art. But YOU Mr. Butcher are the one who came up with smart ass err smart-alack wisecracking Harry Dresden. You wrote books that are so enthralling and well constructed, came up with the subtle hanging plot points, the other characters we care about, you're the one that has brought this about!
Think of the plight of millions of readers who simply wait a year or a year and a half for the next book. Alright sigh you, my fellow Goodread's member came here for a review of the book.
I will attempt it, though that gnawing hunger in my gut, the one we all know so well has started already. This is a fantastic read. I will recommend without reservation that you read this novel. Yes even if you pick it up with no background in Harry at all I think most will enjoy it I've loved the entire series, though as individual books there are some I'd rate a little better than others though I leave them all at a 5 star rating. This one however may just have nudged it's way to the top Harry's life, already complicated seems to find ways to just continue spiraling away and Harry continues to try and bring order out of the swirling chaos that surrounds him.
This time the maelstrom is no easier to navigate through I won't give spoilers here unmarked that is and I'm even being careful to dance far back from the edge in case readers look at this who haven't read this far in the series or for that matter, even started it. I will say that a few more running questions get answered here and a couple get answered in ways that simply open new questions. Some of us spotted things early on and saw some of these coming and we feel so smug when JB's ideas are the ones we figured out others probably surprise us those we smile at, enjoy and so on, but don't talk about as much.
All these things, the cast of characters and of course Harry himself keep us reading. I do want to say this. If you haven't read this series Drive to you're nearest book store The Dresden books or Dresden files books are almost unique in several ways. For one thing they can each be read as stand alone novels the earlier ones more so than the last 2 or 3 yet in the "background" another story is building. The clues come a little at a time the pressure builds like a steam kettle on a stove with the heat set on low.
It takes a while but it's going to happen. That's why even though each book can be enjoyed individually I strongly recommend, I beg you to start at the first novel and read them.
Meet the people in and other characters in Harry's life. Follow the changing relationships enjoy the wiseass errr It's true that "I think" BUT that could mislead.
I still rate book "one" a 5 star read. I mean it's like excellent and getting better. I love these books. By the way Mr. Butcher, Jim I'm 60 years old so don't take too long, okay? Really, don't miss these. I give this book I give these books my strongest, highest recommendation.
Didn't I make myself clear??? I'm getting up there Jim, I'm 62! How much longer can I have? Jim, please What if we shuffle off, take the big sleep, move on Think of all those ticked off ghosts haunting you.
View all 61 comments. Still freaking fantastic!! I was not expecting much from this book as the previous book was a huge disappointment for me. In fact I was scared that what if this proved to be worse than Ghost Story. But once I started reading this book I knew that I won't be disappointed this time and the series is back on track.
Like in previous books, in this book too Harry has to complete a mission which is to kill an immortal. And if Harry is careless this time he would send the balance of world in a turmoil. H Still freaking fantastic!! Harry is always been strong mentally but his mental strength is truly tested in this book.
He came so close to give in to evil but some how managed to survive. I have always liked this tug of war between Harry and Evil with bad people proposing lucrative offers to Harry to make him join them.
Thomas, Murphy, Molly and Toot-toot all playing crucial parts in this. Once again hats off to Mr. Butcher for maintaining the story this interesting and full of surprises.
With every book I think nothing can surpass this and the next book is just better than the previous Ghost Story was an exception though! View all 4 comments. Nov 07, carol.

I dream of an urban fantasy that passes the Bechdel test. In short, I dream of something besides the first eight chapters of Cold Days. Butcher isn't the only one, mind you. He's just the one that makes bestseller lists every time Dresden hiccups. Dude--you know it is book fourteen in a series, right? You don't need to describe the Chicago skyline. Or maybe you do --this could by Anycity, U.
You also don't need to tell us what your apartment looked like, about Bob the skull, Butters' job at the morgue, your creepy past feelings about Molly, your VW bug, how perfect Thomas' body is, your preference for fire magic, leather dusters and charm bracelets or your soulfire--give us the action, how it feels and we'll figure it out.
I confess I've read the series with lackluster enthusiasm since book 8 or so, but never before have I been so convinced Dresden is an asshat. I wouldn't even friend him on Facebook, that's how much of an Equus posterior he is.
Sure, some of that might be the Winter Knight persona showing through. But most of it is the same ol' that's troubled him since book one. Like Rachel Morgan in Kim Harrison 's witch series, character growth is glacial.
In his continued ode to chauvinism, he admits he can't hit a woman, even if she's a psychopathic, possessed female who wants to start Armageddon. Correlated to the character issues is the development of Dresden assuming mantle of the Winter Knight, one of the crucial points of this book. The power of the mantle causes intense feelings of rage and lust--at least, Dresden frequently attributes it to the 'mantle.
So why is Dresden's Winter aspect so prone to irrational rage and sexual rapaciousness? It felt inconsistent, and since significant plot points have to do with characteristics of the avatars of Summer and Winter fae courts, it was bothersome. As usual, I most appreciated the supporting mythical characters. I enjoyed Demonreach, the island's personification, and discovering the innermost workings of the island. Loved Odin. I rather liked the vicious Cat Sith. Butcher does a nice job of remaining true to the early folklore spirit of fae, their tricksy motives and inhuman ethics although not pronunciation, natch.
I liked Thomas' brother relationship and calling Dresden out, although again, I felt like I had read that before. While I liked Molly's character change and confident maturity, it seemed a little sudden from the Molly I remembered. Granted Dresden's been gone at least 3 months during rehabilitation and somewhat longer during Ghost Story.
But she seems like an entirely different person. I suspect her story is even more interesting That said, I did find the storyline rather engaging, particularly in the last half of the book, when the expositionary hiccups were ironed out and it finally progressed into steady action. I will note that a couple of plot points annoyed me.
One, and this is small but telling, Dresden spent an hour telling his friends about the varied ways blood can be used for tracking because it's not like he hadn't already used it as a technique in other books-- eyeroll.
Conveniently, he still forgets this a few hours later. Two, the overall plot continues to be view spoiler [preventing Chicago from being wiped from the earth--as well as the earth from being wiped out by the Outsiders. This has been the penultimate threat in the last chunk of books I can't be bothered to count how many, but definitely in Death Masks and White Knight , so it's a little repetitive.
Writing remains uneven. Butcher continues his self-conscious writing, full of nudge-wink moments to the reader. There's a very out front moment where Harry admits he "jokes under pressure" that sounds a great deal like Butcher trying to answer critics' irritation with wise-cracking heroes in their moment of confrontation.
Dresden misses a Firefly reference from Bob. Presumably the humor comes from the reader being in on the joke, but it did throw me out of the story long enough to consider why Dresden persistently quotes Star Wars and Princess Bride and yet remains challenged by more recent geek-culture phenomenona.
It's very strange, non-sequitur and generally smacks of half-assed defensiveness. More than anything else, that threw me out of the story and necessitated a quick trip to the opthamologist for an eye repair.
One last note: there's a scene with Molly that is seriously disturbing, and not in a good way. I think authorial intentions--whatever they were--were a giant fail! If you read it, you know which one I mean. Her response it was so entirely inappropriate that it was clear the scene was Was Butcher trying to show how evil the mantle is making Harry? How absolutely psychologically screwed up Molly is? Giving in to sheer authorial lecherousness? Please, any fans--explain it to me.
There's no excuse in this series for a violent rape fantasy and the female being okay with it , unless it's a Mab ploy for some sort of bizarre "turn-me-into-what-I hate," which honestly doesn't apply. Had Dresden not been so focused on his male organs, I might have considered 4 stars. However, his general obsession with "possessing" every female in sight Mab, his physical therapist, Maeve, fae women, Molly, Murphy, Lily, etc , coupled with Butcher's general insistence of describing all females in the book in terms of sexual appeal the two that weren't were clearly defined by their lack of appeal makes this a library-only recommendation, and that mostly for Dresden fans.
Two schwing! View all 65 comments. Nov 13, Alex rated it really liked it. This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. It has spoilers, so don't bother reading if you haven't read the book. Honestly, I enjoyed the book because I am a huge fan of The Dresden Files, but that doesn't mean I am going to be biased and just rate everything 5 stars. I don't know if it's due to the different type of series I have been reading lately or not, but seeing Harry as the underdog yet again didn't sit well with me.
I felt like he had to rely on his friends too often to save his butt in this book. There's nothing wrong with that, but Harry was already a very powerful wizard. By adding even more power with the winter mantle, I thought he was going to be a force to be reckon with. What happened was he ended up getting his butt kicked multiple times by individuals who should have been no match for him.
The Little Folk? Ace the Changeling? Being as strong as he should have been, I didn't expect these people to be obstacles in his way. Hell, the way he froze those fae at the beginning of the book only to shatter them into a million pieces was awesome. I had high hopes at that part. Another personal disappointment for me was the way he was reunited with everyone. The only reunion I really liked was with his brother, because it felt the most genuine to me.
When he finally came to believe it was really him, it made me smile. We find out Molly already knew Harry was alive weeks ago, so their reunion felt really lackluster to me.
Again the same thing happens with Murphy. Another lackluster reunion. This was the one I was really interested in too. She was grieving hard in Ghost Story and couldn't believe that the ghost was actually Harry. It wasn't until the end that she finally really accepted it was him, only to realize his ghost is now gone. In Cold Days, Harry is getting his butt kicked and Murphy pops out of no where to help him. After he's safe, they are chatting like him being alive is no big deal.
I was really expecting much more than this. There was no shock on her part at all that he was alive. There were probably a few other parts of the book that bugged me, which is why I didn't give it 5 stars, but those ones stuck out for me. I really did enjoy it overall, but maybe I was just expecting the things above to happen exactly as I imagined they would.
Learning about why the Gatekeeper is called the Gatekeeper was interesting. I completely forgot that there must be a reason for his name. There was more Toot in this book which I loved. His adoration for Lacuna after realizing Hook was a female was adorable. I believe he even gets her a jolly rancher, only to be sucker punched in the face.
We know he's not just some bartender now. I guess he will play a much larger role in a future book. Everything to do with Demonreach I loved reading about.
The spirit of the island, the Well that Harry is now Warden of, the monsters that are imprisoned there. I thought Jim Butcher did a great job with the imagery.
Anyways there's probably more I could say, but I'm going to go read. The wait is dreadful. The last book 'Ghost Story' was one of my favs of the entire series. I can't wait to see Harry in his new role as the WK. I especially can't wait for when Molly, Murphy and the rest of his friends realize he is alive. I teared up a lot during the last book not afraid to admit it,a lot of it was sad , so I am really, really looking forward to Harry reuniting with everyone even if his new role will probably make him feel like he has to stay away.
In every book so far that I can remember , it starts months and months after the last one has finished. Granted, Ghost Story did sort of start off immediately where Changes left off, but that was only from Harry's point of view, in reality 6 months had past. I think that would make for a really good read. I will be disappointed if the book starts off 6 months later and all Harry's friends already know he's alive and working with the Sidhe.
I want to "be there" for when they actually find out that he's not dead, not read about how they found out months ago. Crossing my fingers Jim Butcher doesn't disappoint! View all 53 comments. Dec 03, Eric rated it it was ok Shelves: ebooks , fantasy , contemporary. This was certainly a Dresden novel. It was entertaining, up to a point. I feel like Butcher has lost control of the Dresden Files.
This latest novel was overburdened with self-reference and pop-culture references. It creaks under the weight of established continuity. It's been clear for a few books that Butcher is attempting a sort of sleight-of-hand stasis for Harry, and with this book it goes into the deep end.
Harry is no longer the plucky underdog fighting the good fight. He's now one of the m This was certainly a Dresden novel. He's now one of the movers and shakers of the magical world. Rather than deal with this and have it result in actual character growth, the magnitude of the opposition has continued to increase. That way Harry gets to be more badass while still basically behaving the same way as he always has. There was a sweet spot of 2 or 3 books where it looked like there was going to be more to Dresden than that, but it passed.
I kept with it afterward because, like a brainless popcorn movie, it was fun. It's not much fun anymore. View all 6 comments. A great recovery over the disappointing Ghost Story. Lots of new revelations. View all 11 comments.
Sep 15, forestsprite rated it liked it Shelves: fiction , urban-fantasy. First off, since when did "training bra" become one of Molly's tags? Because eww, gross, stop it. I get that this is supposed to convey how Harry still sees Molly as the child he first knew her as, but could we vary how he expresses this sentiment a little, please?
And maybe stop dragging Molly through the mud while we're at it. This novel was okay. I wouldn't say this series jumped the shark yet, but it's veering precipitously on the edge. Here is everything I found wrong with this book. Spoiler First off, since when did "training bra" become one of Molly's tags?
Spoilers galore. And this review ended up being kind of long. I have a lot of feelings, okay? This novel got a lot more sleazy, with a lot of "women as objects" narrative throughout the book.
I get that Harry is well into his own personal downward spiral and parts of this books were trying to show that, but it just didn't work for me. Twice we have women pretty well throwing themselves at Harry, and neither in a flattering way. Harry is alone with them, he starts thinking rape-y thoughts at them which is a whole 'nother thing I'll get to in a sec , and instead of being alarmed or afraid or assuming some kind of defense or calling him out on it, we have both Sarissa and Molly, in pretty much the same manner, being okay with it.
Sarissa doesn't necessarily want it, but she's passively accepted that it's her lot to get raped on occasion. Molly, on the other hand, basically tells him that hey, it's okay, it's not rape if I want you to. She actually says that he can think of it as a gift she's offering him. Without consent or logic, or any kind of concern for her safety or volition, let alone her pleasure. When he doesn't start raping and killing women, we're supposed to think what, exactly?
That Harry is such a good person? What control he has? And is this supposed to apply to all men - that the only reason they don't go around raping all the women is because it's not politically correct? You could go and blame all this on the mantle of Winter, except that Harry goes to greats pains to say it's not just the mantle of Winter: that every person has both good and bad in their hearts, and what matters is how you act on those notions.
I'll grant that thinking about raping someone is not the same as raping them. Thoughts are not actions, nor do they bear the same weight as actions.
The treatment of Molly. Good god. As if she needed another reason for Harry not to fuck her. And that's really all that comes down to. It's gotten to the point where I wonder if in the author's past there was a girl that he really wanted that he couldn't have and now he's punishing Molly for it. And I know, usually the point in the review where the reviewer starts attacking the author's character is where I stop reading, but it's become so blatant for me that it really does take me out of the book.
It does seem really overly explicit by this point that the only thing Molly has going for her is her ability to be humiliated for wanting so badly to be with Harry and his refusing her, over and over, while everyone else knows it. Give the girl a break. Making her the Winter Lady to his Winter Knight knowing he's still going to refuse her is just another slap in the face.
Issues I had with this book not relating specifically to its treatment of women: a Everyone glossing over not only Harry's death, but his suicide. Coming back from the dead should be a pretty big deal, but when Harry shows up and there's hardly any fall-out - the only person that has any kind of reaction is Thomas, but that only lasts a few pages and then he's pretty much over it. He's also the only one who explicitly figured out that it was suicide in the first place. Molly knows, obviously, as well as Kincaid since he was the one who shot him, but I'm not sure if everyone else has pieced that together and how that would affect their relationship with Dresden.
And what the hell is going on with Murphy, anyway? That was totally a cop-out har har , and none of it rang true with me at all. Her reaction on his being alive there wasn't really one , them again not dealing with anything, and having them not hook up after all that? How is this still happening with all his massive powers as we sit here at book 14?
He should be taking ass and kicking names by this point, but he's still made out to be this underdog at the whims of beings greater than he when in fact he really is a power player by now. And yet, he gets his ass kicked multiple times by people that he shouldn't be. Ace is a prime example. He was a bit player way back in "Summer Knight", and I'll grant that if Harry can level up over the series so can his enemies, but Ace is ultimately the same guy he was back then whose rage has just been simmering a really long time.
That does not power make. Harry should have been able to take him out. Same goes for the Redcap, really. At Harry's party we got this first taste of Harry really flexing his new muscle when he obliterates an ogre and then a random Sidhe, and then we don't see that for the rest of the book. This has always been a problem with the Dresden books, with Harry breaking up a scene for several pages to explain the metaphysics of how magic works or how love conquers all or blah blah blah.
It slows down the place like whoa and is majorly boring. These areas need more red pen. The pacing of this book was awkward in general. I always thought it was kind of cute how all the swearing in the other books was alluded to rather than explicitly stated.
It was part of how Harry operated, to a point, his world-view, and now he's dropping f-bombs and waving his middle finger all over the place. I know he died and more or less sold his soul and has enough baggage to pack the Titanic, but I'm not sure that this change really makes sense to me. And I have no issue with swearing in general, but it doesn't fit the previous books or with Harry's character in general.
But then, neither do all the rape thoughts. Maybe that's the point, but if you want Harry to become this horrible person so that he can redeem himself later I can't help feeling it could have been done better. Will still be reading the next one. View all 9 comments. Jul 17, Emma rated it it was amazing Shelves: magic , re-read , urban-fantasy. Reread Hell, yeah! But it appears no-one told Jim Butcher! This book was fantastic and the action was non stop. This series seems to be getting better and better!
This story opens the world of Harry Dres Reread This story opens the world of Harry Dresden even wider and he, again as the under dog, back again with his friends around him, struggle to complete a seemingly impossible task. Interestingly too, we see the further struggle for Harry between what it means to be good or evil when you have so much power. Recommended as a superlative urban fantasy. But start at the beginning! Harry Dresden is back from near death after being saved by Mab the Winter Queen after he agreed to take on the mantle of her Winter Knight.
He is trying hard to not let the power that goes with that role corrupt him but it's very addictive and hard to resist. Now more than ever he has to step up to save the world from a hideous plot involving the magical island Demonreach and the secrets held there. If you thought Harry was tough and powerful before as a young wizard, he has grown even stronger a Harry Dresden is back from near death after being saved by Mab the Winter Queen after he agreed to take on the mantle of her Winter Knight.
If you thought Harry was tough and powerful before as a young wizard, he has grown even stronger and tougher. Which he'll need to be to defeat the plan wrought by the beings called the Outsiders that has been planted in the very heart of Faerie and will destroy Chicago and unleash untold evil into the world.
There are some very creative scenes such as when Harry is attacked by a band of miniature fae and a great scene where Harry becomes part of the Wild Hunt. Harry has rounded up all his old friends to help including Molly, Thomas, Murphy, Toot-Toot and his pizza loving troupe and Mouse the temple dog and it is good to see they are still loyal to him despite what he has become.
This is a complex plot with an ending signalling even more changes in the future and a major battle still to come. It ties together some of the past events and it's hard to imagine how the evil and magic could ramp up any further in the future but it will be exciting to see where the series goes. Another great book in the Dresden series! Harry Dresden and his gang of misfits just keep getting better with each book! All of the plot twists with Winter and Summer made this book fantastic.
There are so many unanswered questions with the way this book ends and of course I'll be reading the next one in the series. Butcher does it again! Jul 15, Steven rated it it was amazing Shelves: favorites , read-in , reread , read-in Just like the end of "Changes," things are upended yet again in the last 50 pages of this novel.
Going straight into Skin Game, I think, and then the long, terrible wait for the next book. PS-- I friggin' love Toot Toot.
Yeah, yeah. I didn't like book 13 Ghost Story , but I love this series and its characters. I'll give it a chance. I got some push-back that I just didn't like change. I like change. That's been one of the great things about this series. It plays out over time. It's been 12 years since the first book and it's been 12 years since those events have happened to Harry. He and most all of the main supporting cast have changed and grown. Not always for the best, but they have changed.
I just felt that it was kind of a cheap trick and cheap way to shake up the series and boost its sales. I thought it insulted me as a fan and Butcher's characters. I don't mind big events happening, I don't even mind when a book mind-f ks me, as long as it serves a logical and greater purpose.
As long as it makes sense. I can still like the series and still enjoy the books after it. I just didn't like what the author did with that installment. I don't think it caused Mr.
Butcher any sleepless nights. View all 13 comments. Dec 12, Heidi The Reader rated it liked it Shelves: fantasy-and-sci-fi , fiction , urban-fantasy. I liked having Harry back on this side of the veil, but I was so-so about the rest of Cold Days , the latest entry in The Dresden Files.
Being mostly dead is hard on a guy. Harry Dresden, wizard for hire, is now the Winter Knight after a series of misadventures and serious adventures in the past couple of books.
And the position isn't very much fun. The winter fae are hardcore. They're mean, full of tricks and generally happy to kill without consideration for any consequences. So you can see how poorly Harry is going to fit in.
Queen Mab, his new boss, is smart and dangerous. She also has a lot of pans in the fire that the reader isn't necessarily aware of until later in the book. But, being that it's the freaking Queen of the Winter Fae, maybe I should have expected more backstabby things. It seems like much of his choice and free will was taken away when he took up the "mantle" of the Winter Knight. I'm not sure that my feeling is fair though.
How much choice did he have when he was under the thumb of the White Council? Or being manipulated by the Red Court, etc. See, that's the tragedy of the human condition. They don't want to misuse it, they don't want to abuse it, and they don't want to become vicious monsters.
His new job and prior ghost experience have driven some major wedges between Harry and his friends. I didn't like that we saw less of the minor characters, some of whom I've grown quite fond of. Bob the Skull is the one that comes to mind first, but there were others.
I'm not entirely sure his relationship with Molly is ever going to be the same. The patchwork relationship fixes Harry makes with Karrin Murphy, Butters and Thomas are questionable. Overall, I just felt sad. Sometimes, we out grow our friends or they out grow us. I wanted Harry to be best of pals with those folks forever.
Butters tore off a final piece of medical tape, stuck the end of the bandage down with it, and sighed. Just try not to There's still magic, danger and adventure. But I feel like things have certainly changed since a few books ago, and Jim Butcher hasn't necessarily recaptured the magic he conjured when his characters were racing to prevent the death of a little girl at the hands of Red Court vampires.
Wizarding just isn't what it used to be.
