Book Reviews of Proven Guilty (The Dresden Files)
Book Review: A Rescue Mission Into Faery-Land
Summary: 5 Stars
I found Proven Guilty to be an excellent installment of Jim Butcher's The Dresden Files series. Given that it is the eighth novel, there is quite a lot of back-story, but Butcher weaves it into his tale so newcomers and old-hats alike can enjoy it as a standalone book. However, if you really want to appropriately feel for the characters, start from his first book Storm Front and work your way forward. There are goodly number of allies and foes alike, both human and supernatural, so familiarity with the series is helpful.
Life is never easy for Chicago's favorite wizard and it just seems to be getting tougher. The war with the Red Court Vampires has the White Council's forces stretched thin. After Harry witnesses the execution of a young warlock, a senior wizard asks him to look into more black magic activity in the local area. Out of the blue, Molly--eldest daughter of Harry's good friend Thomas--calls him for help. She is working at a local horror convention and there have been some strange things happening. Movie monsters are coming to life and causing mayhem. Harry investigates and soon learns that the land of the faery is involved and these monsters are part of a bigger plot threatening the balance of power. He must face this evil on his home turf and then follow it back into the land of the fae. At least he has some help from the local PD, the wife of a knight of the cross, his vampiric half-brother and two nobles of the Summer Court. Not to mention his dog Mouse, Bob the talking skull and a fallen angel living inside of his own skull.
If that sounds at all interesting, then you owe it to yourself to give Proven Guilty a chance. It is a no-brainer for fans of the series and they should find this a welcome addition to the Dresden Files canon. If you listen to the audio book version, Marsters does another fine job of narrating.
