Summary

Not every danger comes in the form of a mega-threat like a Titan. Some predators are a lot cozier...more personal.

When one such creature threatens an independent tutor, Harry Dresden must shake off the blood and dirt of his most recent battles and rise to the occasion, even when it turns out that the new predator is far more dangerous and connected than first appearances would suggest.

Enjoyable but short.

Good story but I couldn’t help comparing to Jim to James Marsters performances as Harry Dresden and (Sorry Jim) James is hard to beat and more my style. I’d buy James Marsters version should it ever be released. Way to go Jim and glad you had fun doing it!

Another excellent book in the series

A good story. It is always great to hear how the author imagines the voices of his characters.

A solid story, surprisingly well read

I was surprised when I found out Jim Butcher read it himself and to be honest, he did really well at it. The only issues I had were tones and accents that sounded off when compared to Marsters' fantastic performances but it's unfair to compare the two. As for the story itself, it's solid. There were a few things that felt out of place at times, maybe repeated too often or the like, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Not the new best book in the series but certainly worth listening to.

Solid entry

A great story, a good look into Chicago and her recovery post-BG, the performance was great and fun, you could really hear Jim enjoying his characters and honestly it's interesting to hear how he imagines them sounding. Great book!

Enjoyable Dresden short story

A short story featuring a damsel in distress where Dresden’s “blow things up” strategy is not wise. A tangle with mortal law and a lawyer who Harry isn’t able to sway. Of course things soon get complicated for our would-be hero and of course’s family John Marcone makes an appearance.
It’s read by Jim Butcher himself as a personal romp through one of his own stories. We get to hear his version of Harry and Bob’s voices, as well as that of the Queen of Air and Darkness. While we doubtless all prefer James Marsters to be the main reader, this made an interesting change. Well done to Jim for giving it a go and letting us hear the voices in his head.

Short And Sweet

The Law was a short listen but a good fix to keep me going to the next Dresden adventure

While I found it odd without James Marsters, I think Jim Butcher done a wonderful job narrating it

Good things in small packages.

Dresden, our good Boy, figuring out to be good on small scale, with big scale oomf dripping from his sleeves.

a wonderfull dilemma of worlds and powers, and the juggling required to not incenerate bystanders because we big Boys disagree on whats going on in the kindergarden sand pit.

loved it!
