Summer Knight Dresden Files Jim Butcher Books

I don't usually leave reviews when they number in the thousands but I wanted to add my voice to the chorus. This is a great series, some are better then others but that is to be expected with a series with this many volumes. It would be far too lengthy to list all of the things I like about this author, the world he has, and Harry as a character. I will list the two minor complaints that I would make for almost every Dresden book. The author really should have educated himself on both firearms and the layout of Chicago (even though I know it was not his first pick for a city). His description of firearms is inaccurate and borderline embarrassing at times. He refers to guns either inaccurately or ones that just don't exist. However if that is my only major complaint then it is really understandable. Great work I am a big fan and supporter. I am going to list this review for almost all volumes of the Dresden files as I feel it is mostly consistent throughout. I still love it but the Fey are not my favorite foe of Harry's but it is still done well. Happy reading.

Summer Knight Dresden Files Jim Butcher Books Reviews

Dresden just can't let go. Susan may have become a vampire because of him and he will not rest until he finds a way to cure her. However, not eating, not paying the rent and not showering is not the image of a respectable wizard of the White Council. Billy the werewolf is worried about Dresden and finds him a client that turns out to be the Winter Queen, Mab. To get his freedom back, Dresden has to work for her and the first of three tasks is to find the murderer of the Summer Knight. To make it a more pressing matter, his status as a wizard is also in jeopardy.

This book is so good! I tried to make it last but in the end I was just rushing page after page and completely ignored the pace of the narrator - James Marsters is an excellent narrator, by the way. This book did not have a pause, everything was happening at the same time and I could hear the time running in my head "tick-tock, tick-tock". What a wonderful magical book! Meep meep!
Oh yeah! Now this is more like it. Fairies, ogres, and other things that go bump in the night all wrapped around a very cool mystery that has a time limit on getting solved. The Red Court of vampires and the Wizards' White Council are going to war and it's up to Dresden to get the wizards an edge.

Billy and the rest of the Alphas are around to give Harry a hand and we meet some more new and interesting denizens of 'fairyland'.

This is the second or third time I've read this and I still get surprised by the ending.
Summer Knight is the fourth book in Jim Butcher's The Dresden Files series of novels. It was originally published in 2002.

Things haven't been going well for Harry Dresden, Chicago's resident wizard. Ever since the events of Grave Peril, the Red Court of vampires has been pretty much out to get him and he's been juggling trying to find a way to save his sometime girlfriend from fully turning into a vampire and staying alive despite the Red Court's assassins. To make matters worse, he is visited by a client who later turns out to be Queen Mab of the Winter Court herself. She has purchased Harry's debt from his godmother and is prepared to grant him his freedom for as long as he fulfills three favors, the first of which is to investigate the murder of on Ronald Reuel, who turns out to be the Knight of the Summer Court. He's initially reluctant to make any sort of a deal with the Sidhe, but then the White Council of wizards obligates him to assist the Winter Court or he'll be stripped of his title as a wizard.

This book truly has it all. We have the intricacies of the Faerie realms in the Nevernever and the politics of the Summer and Winter Courts. We have a murder mystery that only magic can get to the bottom of. We have intrigues and complicated plots both in the White Council and the Faerie Courts. And we have a good mess of werewolves, vampire agents and other magical creatures out to make Harry's life a living hell.

Now I was beginning to get a little worried that the books were starting to follow a sort of formula with Harry always being brought to a point of physical exhaustion that later affects his ability to use magic while fighting the bid bad guy. And while Harry had a lot to deal with in this book, the situation didn't quite follow that exact same path of plot development. And things certainly got pretty hairy at the end.

The book had a lot of characters to juggle, especially with some folks from Harry's past coming into the mix. But I never felt overwhelmed with all the names and such since Butcher has a way of breaking down scenes so you only have maybe 3-4 talking heads at most. Bigger sequences like fights and moments of action tend to not have much dialog and focus more on Harry's thinking when he deals with challenges in his way. I envy the seeming ease of his writing. We're reading about Harry dealing with some pretty fantastical stuff and it yet it feels like it's just another afternoon in the city.

I really enjoyed this book. You get a sense that the Dresden universe and the characters in it are really maturing and by this time Butcher has a good idea of what he wants to accomplish and he knows what each of the characters would do given this or that situation. And the fact that the characters are so well-developed and fleshed out is really where the strength of his writing lies.

Summer Knight is a great book that further explores the role of Faerie in this world and also reveals more about Harry's past. The action is great and the the detective piece was very well done and the ending will just blow you away.
