Starred Review in Library Journal for Jim Butcher’s Small Favor

The disappearance of criminal magnate Gentleman Johnnie Marcone and the suspected involvement of the Sidhe Courts draw professional wizard Harry Dresden into an ever-growing web of supernatural complexity that brings the ongoing war between good and evil to a head—and threatens a rift between Harry and the people he cares about most. The tenth addition to Butcher’s popular “Dresden Files” series (after White Night) hints at higher stakes and more personal repercussions in future volumes. Set in a modern Chicago that includes the presence of supernatural creatures, this tale of urban sword and sorcery features compelling characters and superb storytelling and belongs in most libraries. Highly recommended.

Butcher, Jim. Small Favor. ROC: NAL. Apr. 2008. c.432p. ISBN 978-0-451-46189-6. $23.95. FANTASY

Small Favor celebrates

Congratulations to Jim Butcher!

Small Favor, the 10th novel in the Dresden Files, debuts at #2 on the New York Times List and #3 on the USA Today List.

Intricate yet accessible plotting and near-Arctic winter weather mark the 10th Harry Dresden adventure from bestseller Butcher (after 2007’s White Night)… Butcher smoothly manages a sizable cast of allies and adversaries, doles out needed backstory with crisp efficiency and sustains just the right balance of hair’s-breadth tension and comic relief. — Publishers Weekly
