Cold Days

Harry can be so frustrating! Classic Dresden who thinks he knows everything even when he doesn't.

The plot of Cold Days was solid, but some of the character interaction/dialog were a bit weak this time around.

I'm not sure there's enough world development to build another 8 books from, but it's getting there. Sometimes miss the creature feature formula of the earlier books. ( )

Excellent. Lots of twists and turns, snark, reunions, and Star Wars/Princess Bride and other popular sci-fi references. Can't wait for book 15. ( )

I had such a good time with this book! I have been having a fantastic time re-reading this amazing series. I spaced out my re-reads of the early books in the series but I have really picked up the pace with these later books because the stakes are higher and I cannot wait to read more. I have now read the first 14 books in the series twice and I care about Harry and his ragtag group of friends so when things look bad for them, I need answers as soon as possible.

Harry’s bargain with Mab that he made a couple of books ago is now in full effect. Harry is now serving Mab as the Winter Knight. After he is healthy enough to fulfill his duties, Mab gives him his first task and it seems to be almost impossible. Since Harry has never been one to follow orders blindly, he starts trying to figure out what is really going on and what his next move should really be. He is reunited with some of the friends that he has come to depend on like Molly, Thomas, Karrin, and Butters.

This book had all of the action and excitement that I have come to expect from the series. There were even some pretty big surprises. (Yes, I was surprised even though I have read this book before. In my defense, it has been 9 years since my last read and my memory isn’t what it used to be.) We get to see some of Harry’s insecurities and he once again proves just how hard he is willing to fight when he needs to. This was a book that I couldn’t wait to read and one I didn’t want to put down once I started.

James Marsters is Harry Dresden. I couldn’t imagine experiencing this story any other way now that I have had the privilege of listening to Mr. Marsters read this series. He brings so much emotion to the story and I love the voices that he uses for the various characters.

I would highly recommend this book to others. This is a series that really should be read in order so you wouldn’t want to start with this book. If you have made it this far into the series, you will probably be just as happy with this book as I was. I cannot wait to pick up the next book in the series! ( )

I'm glad I could revisit "Cold Days" because there is a lot to unpack. There are many changes, including Dresden. I feel overwhelmed. It is a pivotal book and is a "must-read." ( )

Every book gets better and deeper into the lore adn this one is no exception. I have so many questions and my mind is so blown right now. Wow ( )
