Harry has faced terrible odds before. He has a long history of
fighting enemies above his weight class. The Red Court of vampires. The
fallen angels of the Order of the Blackened Denarius. The Outsiders.
But
this time it’s different. A being more powerful and dangerous on an
order of magnitude beyond what the world has seen in a millennium is
coming. And she’s bringing an army. The Last Titan has declared war on
the city of Chicago, and has come to subjugate humanity, obliterating
any who stand in her way.
Harry’s mission is simple but
impossible: Save the city by killing a Titan. And the attempt will
change Harry’s life, Chicago, and the mortal world forever.
“The real battle for your own soul isn't about falling from a great height; it's about descending, or not, one choice at a time.”
I'm
not usually a fan of long drawn out battles in books, but I knew going
into this one that it was what had to happen. This has been building up
for a while and the big battle was finally here. I was expecting to have
my heart broken, and it was, but not as badly as I thought it would be.
That being said I am truly angry with the way one character went out. I
mean really Mr. Butcher, why did you do this? But it's the mark of a
good storyteller, when that storyteller can make you also laugh through
the tough parts as well, and Jim Butcher is a master at that. I laughed
and cried while reading this book. I was also elated every time one of
my favorite characters showed up, and they pretty much all did make an
appearance at some point.
The inclusion of the short story
Christmas Day at the end of the book was nice. After everything that
happened in the book, it helped to leave me with a warmer feeling. Now
that this story arc has come to an end, it will be interesting to see
what happens next.
