Book Reviews of Small Favor (The Dresden Files, Book 10)
Book Review: Dresden Files Continues Stong
Summary: 4 Stars
Title Small Favor (The Dresden Files, Book 10)
Author: Butcher, Jim
The Dresden files series is still going strong after 10 volumes. Harry Dresden is a wizard in Chicago, in a fictional world similar to our own...except for such minor matters as the reality of magic, wizards, demons, fairy folk, angels (fallen and otherwise), and the Nevermore, the magical lands that intersect with the real world. Harry is a good guy, but it isn't always easy to tell who's on the side of good, or even what the good is. Often Harry is faced with difficult choices, such as two good things being mutually exclusive, or NO good options, or options in which some things are good and some are bad. Rather like reality, in fact.
The hardest part of the series to believe is that Harry is always called upon to save the world against almost impossible odds. He always comes through with the help of preparation, thinking ahead, imagination, courage, and the help of other people with the same qualities.
In this case the fallen have conspired to kidnap the Archive, a young girl who holds humanity's collective memory and is immensely powerful. If they can break her, well, the world is in danger AGAIN.
Overall, a really good series, and a really good entry in the series. And, oh, by the way, a whole field of raspberries to the SciFi Channel for canceling the TV series based on the books. That was a Bad Decision.

Book Review: Wow
Summary: 5 Stars
Wow.
With every book Jim Butcher releases, his writing just gets better and better.
His characters are some of my favorite of all time, and he doesn't disappoint with "Small Favor."
The Denarians are back. The Knights of the Cross are back. The Sidhe are back.
The only thing missing are the Red Court Vamps. But I'm sure we haven't seen the last of them either.
And Harry finally gets some romance! Woot!
Jim Butcher has become one of my all time favorite authors in Fantasy / Sci-Fi.
Book Review: Overall a fun read
Summary: 4 Stars
Jim Butcher once again brings Harry Dresden through another wild ride. Small Favor reads very well and is fun. Not my personal favorite of the the Dresden files though, I prefer when Harry's dog (mouse) is portrayed more prominently. In all continue reading the Dresden Files, great series.Book Review: Jim Butcher is the BEST

Summary: 5 Stars
It is a fast-paced, fun read. A great addition to the canon. If there is to be no more tv show, etc. At least the Dresden universe still lives on through the great book series. Highly recommended.
