Quick Take: Skin Game by Jim Butcher

Skin Game by Jim ButcherSkin Game is the latest entry of Jim Butcher’s Dresden Files, and it was great. I couldn’t put it down! My immediate thought was I want to read it again, but of course I had to go to sleep. I only wish that I had read the last book again before reading this, because I found some of the details kind of fuzzy. Fans will love it, but it’s probably not the best place for a new reader to start. A heist caper filled with danger and Harry’s typical smart mouth quips, I also thought there were nice moments of emotional reflection. I spent some time considering where Butcher uses present tense for Harry’s voice. He’s masterful at it. Fun, suspenseful, with some heart-wrenching stuff. Highly recommended.
