The problem with large casts is making sure there is enough storyline for everyone to be fully involved and keeping them all distinct. becoming involved way over their heads, the battle is frequently physical as well as magical, which is a slight change of style. With some of the protagonists being literal guardian angels and the F.B.I. This brings together one of the largest casts of characters in a Dresden Files novel, with both sides throwing huge numbers of warriors into the fray. It's not the latter than concerns Dresden, who sees his own death as an occupational hazard, but no-one messes with an innocent child, especially his innocent child.ĭresden cannot take on the Red Court alone, but fortunately he has a cast of friends from both this world and the other to help him. Until one day the child, Maggie, is kidnapped by a senior member of the Red Court of vampires, who plan to use her as a sacrifice to power a bloodline curse that would not only kill the child but Dresden himself. Given the dangers inherent in his profession, the child's mother has kept the secret from him for many years. Nobody could have expected Harry Dresden, professional wizard, to become a father, least of all Dresden himself. Changes, the twelfth in Jim Butcher's Dresden Files series, is such a book. However, when this happens, there inevitably comes a point where it gets so good, you can't help but think that the next one can't possibly be any better as it feels like the series has peaked. It's always wonderful to see a series going from strength to strength and getting better as it goes along.
Everything that is wonderful about the Dresden Files series is here, plus a little extra. Summary: Butcher hits the ground running with the story that starts fast and stays faster.
