Very much THIS! I got up to chapter 11 last night and it is a pure, glorious Dresdencrack fix.
I know Jim Butcher was a bit worried about how the book would be received but he need have no worries at all, he has nailed it.
I'll post more in a dedicated thread later but this is a fantastic book.
Its not really about any flashy conflicts there are some but they are not really important to the story. Its about picking up the broken pieces and returning to some kind of new normal after several hard years and it is done well.
I think that is why it's resonating with me. I've been to some dark places over the last however many years and it's only really been the last year or so that I've got past the point where I feel I've turned a corner and it's onwards and upwards now.
It's interesting to see how Jim is writing about Dresden's dark places. You can tell he is writing from experience and I can relate, there are some parts that do hit close to home and I am thinking "aye, you know what it's like down there in the pit."
The chat in chapter 11 Dresden has with a certain someone was tough reading. But Jim is also still giving us the stuff we love with a Dresden book so aye, loving it, its an interesting read.
100%. I've gotten used to having moments with this series that can poke me in theemotionseye but this one has done so repeatedly. It's part of why I'm taking my time with it. I feel like it has earned time to process and not just push through as fast as possible.
I'm also going to immediately follow it with the earbook because I suspect Marsters is really going to add a layer to some of the emotionally heavy scenes. -

We're a few weeks into the new year and I've got some new old books up to bat.
I've started and finished Kazuo Ishiguro's THE REMAINS OF THE DAY. What an absolutely brilliant book and one that feels so absolutely relevant to the current political climate of the world. I ended up getting a copy of this one for my shelves as I definitely foresee myself rereading this one.
Now I'm currently working on Dickens' GREAT EXPECTATIONS and at roughly 25% of the novel, it's living up to the expectations set by previous works by the author. Dickens just really had a way of making the circumstances of the poor very understandable and relatable. Pip's restlessness and desire for more after seeing a taste of the life Miss Havisham has in comparison is completely understandable. -
