" 4.5 stars as opposed to the 4 that I'll give the vast majority of the Dresden books, because to me, this is the book where I think Butcher started to kick it into a higher gear. The first handful of books, while they had continuity, really felt more like standalones, but this is right about where Harry's mytharc really began to be fleshed out. "
