Editor's Notes and Comments:

Product Description:
The new novel in the New York Times bestselling Dresden Files series.

No one's tried to kill Harry Dresden for almost an entire year, and his life finally seems to be calming down. For once, the future looks fairly bright. But the past casts one hell of a long shadow.

An old bargain has placed Harry in debt to Mab, monarch of the Winter Court of the Sidhe, the Queen of Air and Darkness-and she's calling in her marker. It's a small favor he can't refuse...one that will trap Harry Dresden between a nightmarish foe and an equally deadly ally, and one that will strain his skills- and loyalties-to their very limits.

It figures. Everything was going too well to last...

User popularity level:  out of 5 stars

Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - Dresden is as always entertaining
Slow to start but as always it get really entertaining. Must read for Dresden fans



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Small Favorable
I've read all of the Dresden series and I think Butcher gets better as he goes. This one fits comfortably in the fantasy-detective-noire genre, is excellently paced, sprinkles in references to pop culture that give the characters a "real" feel, and the dialog made me laugh out loud more than a few times. Can't wait for the subsequent one!



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Small Favor is....
Jim's books just keep getting better and better and this book just prove it more revelation and more secrets more loves and more lost and most of all the begging of something new.....



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Hurrah for Jim Butcher, he does it again!
This book was awesome. Brilliantly written, funny as sin, engaging action and clever plot. Ever have one of those books where you get shamefully attached to the characters? Ever think "Hmmm... actually, ghouls would make an awful lot of sense in this situation?" Ever find yourself thinking that Harry Dresden's explanations of the mechanics of the fae world interacting with (and being steadfastly ignored by) our mortal world make more sense than what's on the evening news? This book draws you in in true Jim Butcher fashion. I can't wait until the subsequent one...
... incidentally, I want to marry Carlos Ramirez...



Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - Dresden Files Continues Stong
Title Small Favor (The Dresden Files, Book 10)
Author: Butcher, Jim

The Dresden files series is still going strong after 10 volumes. Harry Dresden is a wizard in Chicago, in a fictional world similar to our own...except for such minor matters as the reality of magic, wizards, demons, fairy folk, angels (fallen and otherwise), and the Nevermore, the magical lands that intersect with the real world. Harry is a good guy, but it isn't always easy to tell who's on the side of good, or even what the good is. Often Harry is faced with difficult choices, such as two good things being mutually exclusive, or NO good options, or options in which some things are good and some are bad. Rather like reality, in fact.

The hardest part of the series to believe is that Harry is always called upon to save the world against almost impossible odds. He always comes through with the help of preparation, thinking ahead, imagination, courage, and the help of other people with the same qualities.

In this case the fallen have conspired to kidnap the Archive, a young girl who holds humanity's collective memory and is immensely powerful. If they can break her, well, the world is in danger AGAIN.

Overall, a really good series, and a really good entry in the series. And, oh, by the way, a whole field of raspberries to the SciFi Channel for canceling the TV series based on the books. That was a Bad Decision.
