The 4th book in the Dresden Files. Harry is a wreck after what happened to Susan in the previous book and has been working non-stop for weeks to try and find a "cure". Unfortunately, his actions have started a war between the Red Court of the Vampires and the White Council of Wizards. The Council has charged Harry with gaining them safe passage from the Winter Queen, Mab, through her lands in Fairy or he will be given over to the Red Court to put an end to the war. Mab has already contacted Harry to let him know that his godmother has sold her stake on him to the Queen and she has a job for him. The Summer Knight has been killed and his mantle of power stolen and Mab is being accused. She wants Harry to find out who did it and clear her name. So just a few things for Harry to deal with.
Lots of fun, lots going on, lots of political intrigue. Not so much in the character development or growth. Harry is who he is and I suspect that we will see little growth beyond who we saw in the first book. Still, it's a fun urban fantasy series and good for when you want to turn the brain off and just enjoy the ride.
