Week 45 Reviews: White Night, It's My Birthday, Too, Heorot, Mike, Small Favor




From Goodreads:
A sensational addition to the Dresden Files adventures-from a USA Today bestselling author. Professional wizard Harry Dresden is investigating a series of deaths in Chicago. Someone is killing practitioners of magic, those incapable of becoming full-fledged wizards. Shockingly, all the evidence points to Harry's half-brother, Thomas, as the murderer. Determined to clear his sibling's name, Harry uncovers a conspiracy within the White Council of Wizards that threatens not only him, but his nearest and dearest, too...increasingly significant threat to Western power.

Harry and Molly's mission to deliver Thomas' birthday gift goes awry.

Harry teams up with Miss Gard to find a missing bride.

A visit to the mechanic.  Set between White Night and Small Favor–shortly after the graphic novel Wild Card.

Harry Dresden's life finally seems to be calming down-until a shadow from the past returns. Mab, monarch of the Sidhe Winter Court, calls in an old favor from Harry-one small favor that will trap him between a nightmarish foe and an equally deadly ally, and that will strain his skills-and loyalties-to their very limits.

My Review:
Wow, yes, there stories were so excellent! Harry has been through a lot, and because of it, has learned, has grown smarter and sneakier. And a lot happens in these 2 books, and I'm really excited to see where this series goes from here! 

White Night was interesting, Harry is smart and strategic in this book, which was really great because it allowed him to gather more information about his enemies. It did confuse me for a bit, with the flashback, but then it ended and it made sense! 

Small Favor was pretty awesome, Harry's got enemies coming at him at all sides, it feels like. What with Mab calls in her 2nd favor, and the Summer fae getting into his grill. But it's also a great follow up to White Night in that the coins and their holders are a significant threat, and given the events of the previous book, it was really great to watch it play out! 

When we had Dead Beat, and Luccio was first introduced into the main series, I was really happy, because I was interested in her character from the short story. Well, I was excited to see her again in Small Favor, and I can't wait to see how much of a role she'll play in the coming stories in the series! 

Loved reading these books, and I can't wait to continue the series!
