Finished the book last night, and may I say: DAYUM!
I just KNEW that whoever killed Harry had to be good, but I never expected it to be himself. Holy suit that was awesome! That whole thing was a setup. you could have called that book: How I Narrowly Avoided Becoming A Monster.

But that wouldn't have fitted in with the series' naming conventions.

Several people actually predicted that Dresden arranged what happened, though they ran into difficulty with the fact that Mab would've known about such treachery.

And now we know not only how it happened, but that he actually IMPRESSED Mab by doing so.  That's the part that blows my mind.

I just KNEW that whoever killed Harry had to be good, but I never expected it to be himself.

Toward the middle of the book, I started to wonder if it had maybe been Thomas, acting through prearranged orders from Harry that if he should ever run risk of becoming a monster, to take him out.

I like the fact that lea states that Harry was a damn sight more powerful than kincaid...

I can't wait for the reactions when they all find out he is alive... would love to be a fly on the wall of the fomor headquarters as they collectivel cry and run screaming out of chicago...

Just finished the book and...

BUTCHER YOU MAGNIFICENT BASTARD! I READ YOUR BOOK!

[Tim2.0]

just finished and yes the harry molly kincaid thing was quite interesting, what got me is how squirrelly and sneaky Uriel apparently is

This is my first post here; Have been lurking on the forums for a good while now.  After having devoured Ghost Story in one sitting, I figured today would be a good time to become a participant.    Best part of the book for me what getting to watch the "Justice League" stuff come together in the wake of Harry's absence.  Just Awesome!!!  Lots of questions answered, but true to JB's forte; in the wake of the answers comes more questions!

As expected, a fabulous book.  Only two points stick out in my head:

#1:  What's this?  Harry, the wizard, stopping to THINK??   I don't think there is any faster, better, or surer way than that for Harry to power-up fast at this point.  As Harry would say: About. Freaking. Time.
#2: Jim Butcher is a tortuous man.  We FINALLY think that we'll start finding out about Demonreach, and Mab whisks Harry away to court.

Any bets on how many more books before Murphy officially picks up that sword?  She obviously needs some shrink-work first, but...

Hello everyone, I wonder all of you feel about this book compared to the other dresden books. I personnally feel this book is a tad sad compared to the others. Usually it is a bit more cheerful in the story. There a lot of changes but being dead seems to make Harry a little wiser, older, less impulsive, less of a winer but a little less fun and funny. It is still a very very good book, though.

what do you guys think about the ending? Some reason it didn't leave me excited for the next book. I'm glad he's alive and all back as the winter knight but what's the whole ordeal of the demonreach and mab? It barely left room for a suspense moment but saying stuff has to be done for the court. Seems like it could of ended in a more dramatic mind thinking matter then that.

Seriously. I would have paid another $25 for a few more chapters of Dresden showing back up in Chicago and showing everyone why you don't mess with his friends. Or better yet, showing up in time to save the day when the Justice League headquarters was under attack or something and laying a royal beat down on the fomors for doing so. "This is my town."

I can understand how you feel, but for me it literally made me like cry out in rage in Panda Express cause I was like "noooo I want to see whats next!" (no joke i finished it like 15minutes after class in Panda). I feel that the whole revelation that he has a CHOICE to do whatever and not even MAB can take that away from him was a really great conclusion. It shows that Harry will still be himself, but be in a greater position of power to act against whoever his enemies may be (preferably the Black Council).

After Changes, I can live with the more staid ending. But, it does setup at least two books more. One with Mab central and another with Demonreach. Dresden has to pay the piper sooner or later.

Awesome!! 

What a cheeky b*stard, I just knew it had to be Kincaid but never ever imagined it would be by Harry's request. How awesome was that!  Great story. Another year to go now......if we're lucky.
