Skin Game by Jim ButcherMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
The good thing about the Dresden Files is that it's like coming home to family members and having a good meal together and trading stories.
And it's brilliant how Jim Butcher manages to give new faces to old characters. The book picks up from where the previous book left off, there is a parasite growing in Harry Dresden's body and he has been tasked by his "fairy godmother" Mab to steal shit while working with some really bad characters.
The book follows the similar formula from the previous books, Dresden is stuck without any help in the growing dangers, but still the dude manages to make it even while being broken and messed up bad.
The struggle of the main character is what makes these books worth reading. The really emotional moments in the book really tug at your heartstrings and man, it's a roller coaster.
The book has Dresden's steady supply of pop culture references, wise ass quips and him squaring off against opponents on bigger power level than him in all manners and still, the crafty bugger manager to make it through.
As with all books that I love, this has been a satisfying read, but all that matters in the end, is spending a few days in Dresden's worth, like sitting with a good friend and having a good time for 3-4 days.
The whole Dresden series is worth a read, but the things really pick up after book 3-4. And then, you just don't want to stop reading.
