Please do the review on Side Jobs it has a story in it that picks up right after changes

I literally read this entire book in one straight shot without breaks. I normally have a little more restraint, but I just couldn't put this one down. Personally, I wouldn't call this the best in the series, but it's definitely up there. I think my favorites are still Proven Guilty and Turn Coat. As you said, the best part of this book was watching how much Harry has to sacrifice in order to save his child, and how the book grapples with what that means for Harry's morality. The one thing that really didn't work for me was Martin being a triple-agent, that felt like a really unnecessary plot twist. As for your question about Susan, I think that while what she did was not right, she was doing what she believed was best for her child, and I can't really fault her for that.

The initiation ritual for Harry to become the Winter Knight (Harry and Mab), as I remember it, was like an LSD orgy trip that got video taped and went viral to the fae world. So, maybe less rapey and more revenge porny?

Remember that thought on the decisions made when taking care of Maggy.

I would love a spoiler review of the short story collection! Very much interested in what you think about them.

"It's a hard book for him, it's a great book for me" -sums it up

Yes to a spoiler video on Side Jobs!

Always love Merphy’s Dresden reviews. Please do a spoiler review of Side Jobs!!

The scene of the Grey Council entrance and the Black Staff was so cool. I always wonder what would happen if the magic from the staff fully takes over Ebenezar.

This book was such a shock as Butcher upended every single thing the readers had grown accustomed to in the series. The book almost systematically takes Harry's life apart and gives us a new status quo going forward. What also was great was giving Mouse a character voice. Mouse vs Leah was absolutely hilarious.

Mouse is the best character!

I know youre a ways away from them, but i would highly recommend reading oeace talks and battle ground as one book

Marsters is dresden i have every book but i always choose the audio

I just finished reading Bride and I really hope I don't miss the live stream for that... Merphy and I have very similar taste so I can't wait to hear her response to this book... love this collab!!!

You can't have sex with a hurricane (I think was the wording). I didn't see it as much as forcefully taken against his will, he didn't expect it but he was willing as he killed the previous knight. I read it almost as he was pretty much along for the ride while Mab did her thing.

This review makes me want to do a reread....

Mouse: "NO MATING!"

I have read the physical books at least twice. But I love the audiobooks because James Marsters (Spike from Buffy!) does such an amazing job! I am presently going through the entire series again on audio (just starting Small Favors) & am loving your reviews. Changes is definitely, I think, the best of the best, & I cry through the entire book every time. I am presently collecting the entire series (up to now) in hardcover, which is not easy. Most of them have been obtained through used bookstores. Four to go! Thanks for reviewing the books!

Alrighty folks, this is the one

Each and every book in the series has a two-word name where each word has the same number of letters. Even the short story collections. But not this one. This book changes things.

“The fallout of this world” Side Jobs. :)

James Marsters is extraordinarily as the narrator of this series and he is integral. It was apparent in the next book when he had scheduling conflict. And as the absolute champion he is, he recorded the book later and Audible rereleased it.

Side Jobs has some really fun stories, I'd love to hear your thoughts about them

There's plenty to talk about in side jobs. Do a spoiler review.

Don't know if anyone mentioned it, but we also have to remember that it wasn't all about getting back at Harry. Harry's death would have been a side benefit for the Red Court. They were going after Mccoy who killed Ortega (a Red Court Lord) and hundreds of other vampires by sacrificing Maggie.

I remember when Changes first came out and people were saying as soon as Harry killed Susan they threw the book across the room, or or threw it in the trash and vowed to never read another Dresden Files books because "it went against Harry's character." Which was a very odd statement to me. This came out in 2010, I'd been reading since 2006, this seemed very in line with Harry as a character to me. NOW that you've gotten through Changes, the real stuff can begin.

Can’t wait for you read the rest of released books.

THe best line was when Harry said his lawn mower need a hand ___. I had difficulty putting the book down, i was reading it until 4am or something and i was having micro sleeps, and i didn't fully comprehend that Harry got shot. I was talking to my uncle who reads Dresden and he started talking about HArry getting shor and i'm like what!

Regarding the short stories: I think they are a little hit or miss (I think the early ones are particularly weak), but the later ones fill in a lot of important background material, and the novellas are excellent. I think the short stories suffer because they necessarily skew more towards the action sequences over the quiet character moments Butcher really excels at. The second short story collection is significantly better than the first and should be read just before Peace Talks, as it contains quite a few important developments you would otherwise miss. Without spoiling anything, but... Carlos. Just... Carlos.

James Marsters is doing an amazing job being Harry, but that book... he is spectacular.

LOVE the Dresden reviews! I can't wait for your mind to be blown as you catch up....

According to Jim Butcher, he found out exactly when his editor finished reading the manuscript when she called him in the middle of the night, and said as soon as he picked up the phone: "You Killed him!" His answer? "Now the fun can finally begin"

oh yes. was waiting for that one.

I became a dad to my daughter just a bit over a year ago, and read this book in February. The line "Hang on kid, dad's coming" reverberates through me and will for the rest of my life.

Been checking in every day for a week for this video 😅 so glad you loved it!

“Hard book for him great book for me” loved that

I recommend the 12.5 compilation. It was a breath i needed after changes. But also ends with slotting you right back in for ghost story.

Re: Side Jobs The most important entries (imo) are Backup, The Warrior, and Aftermath. I'd love to see spoiler reviews or vlogs on those.

Was waiting for this! Glad you liked it and I'm still so glad you're reviewing this series in general. I am shocked by your ability to wait 2 months to read Ghost Story. I mean I didn't have a choice but to wait a whole year for it. But I was ready to drive to Butcher's house and demand answers personally when I finished Changes lol. I'd rather have a longer video on Ghost Story and nothing on Side Jobs than a shorter video on Ghost Story and also a video on Side Jobs. But I don't know if it works like that lol. Ghost Story is one of my favorites.

Deadbeat was when I realized there was much more depth to Butchers’s writing Changes was such a crazy blockbuster, that some of the poignant moments get lost in all the mayhem I’ll be curious to hear your reaction to the shorts and Ghost Story, I thought it was so well written Thanks for another great review!

I've been waiting for this review for a long time. I think I cried all the way through the review as memory and after memory came back. Thank you. How could you not mention more about the fantastic Mouse? Who's the best boy?

The Mercy of the Gods is SO on my tbr

I used the knife. I saved a child. I won a war. God forgive me. Sums up the book so we'll and is just heartbreaking.

You should read the short story Aftermath before starting the next book in the series ! And I would also suggest reading the rest of the short stories that you didn't read along the main narrative at this moment in the series. It's the perfect timing :D EDIT: The second I press enter, you talk about it in the video haha

Some of the short stories are extremely good and it has some great character moments in it. Would really love your review of it. It does so much to flesh out side characters in the books.

Arianna - "Cattle. You are cattle" Harry - "Moo" 🐮 Favourite quote from the book 😂😂

So great to relive this book through your video! I’ve definitely been looking forward to this one!

No spoilers but Jim Butcher shared that Ghost Story is partially inspired by his suicidal thoughts.

Side jobs! Side jobs! Side jobs!

Hey, this is the absolute best book in the series so far and that saying a lot because this is one of the best modern fantasy book series I have ever read
