Book Reviews of White Night (The Dresden Files, Book 9)
Book Review: This series just continues to improve and impress ...
Summary: 5 Stars
It is a rare thing for an author to handle a large, sweeping series with such aplomb. Witness Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series (which I love) which even I have to admit got away from him and became unweildy and difficult to follow. By contrast, the Dresden Files plot flows nicely from book to book.
As for Butcher, his neo-noir style narration is spiced liberally with a warm humor that doesn't detract from the non-stop thrills. The protagonist is the unapologetically chivalrous yet lovelorn Harry Dresden, the only wizard in the Chicago Yellow Pages. Dresden, a supernatural gumshoe who lives in his rundown Chicago apartment makes for a lovable protagonist. While the series is driven more by (an outstanding) plot than by characters, the characters, too, are multifaceted individuals (for the most part) who learn (or not) from real mistakes. And Harry is very conflicted about issues of love, trust and the question of whether he is good or evil, which leads to some excellent drama and internal conflict.
In this book, magic users are disappearing from around the Chicago area. And though it's Harry's job to prevent it from happening, he finds himself suspected by many of the victims' friends. To top it off, his vampire brother is acting suspicious and may be involved. As he solves the mystery, Harry must fend off the temptations of a fallen angel, Lasciel.
Great fun. Outstanding writing. Paced for thrills with no slow spots. Darkly urban, contemporary setting. Magical, colorful characters. What's not to like?
Summary of White Night (The Dresden Files, Book 9)
The inspiration for the Sci Fi channel television seriesIn Chicago, someone has been killing practitioners of magic, those incapable of becoming full-fledged wizards. Shockingly, all the evidence points to Harry Dresden'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...
