Harry has almost too many problems to be really fun in this one. But I know it gets better because I've read the next few, so I'm thinkin reread the whole series. Yeah, sounds good. ...more

WOW! This book took my breath away. When Necromancers converge on Chicago with a frightening plan to perform a ritual granting one of them the power of a god, Harry is in for the fight of his life.

The final scene, my husband's favorite of all the books and one he was eagerly awaiting me to hit, didn't wow me like it did him. Again I was finishing this book while in that post reading binge daze of the CYBILS. To me the ending was a bit like Dresden taking something from Dr Animo's play book (see "Washington BC" from Season 1 of Ben 10).

I loved Butters. And I loved Thomas. And I loved Harry riding Sue. Though after a while it got a bit silly just how many times Harry screwed up. First with the Erlking. Then with the book. Then at the vortex. Always allowing people to get the drop on him. It was really frustrating and I had to take a star off for that. Other than that, a really good book.
