Small Favor by Jim Butcher

by Chadwick Ginther - Thursday, Apr 17, 2008 at 4:06pm

Harry Dresden, wizard for hire is back in Small Favor the tenth installment of the Dresden Files. Jim Butcher's trademark lightning pacing will keep you turning pages long into the night.

It has been a hard few years for Harry Dresden, and 2008 doesn't look like it will treat our hero any better. Harry owes someone a favour, and she has come to collect. One would think this small favour would be no big deal. Not the case, however, when you owe it to The Queen of Air and Darkness. Small Favor pits Dresden and his allies, the Wardens of the White Council and the Knights of the Cross against the fairy realms as well as The Knights of The Blackened Denarius, bearers of Judas' thirty pieces of silver, and-I kid you not-the Billy Goats Gruff.

Butcher consistently turns in blistering prose, rapier wit and some of the finest Urban Fantasy that I have come across. For those who like a little magic in their Marlowe, Harry Dresden's adventures are not to be missed.
