Dead Beat The Dresden Files Book 7 Jim Butcher Books

Really enjoyed the plot of this one. While not as enjoyable as Summer Knight, it definitely beats the Book right before it. Dresden dealing with three crazy necromancers vying for godlike power? I love it.

On the other hand, I did feel like this book missed many chances to establish its villains better. While the Dresden Files are at their best even dealing with eldritch powers outside of human ken, this time the villains were human. I would have liked to see them more like people, especially Cowl, before the end. I feel like it would have given the ending more power.

However, I really enjoyed this one and would recommend it.

One final note - As these books go on, they're becoming more and more self-referential. Long passages are spent describing events from previous books. I understand that the author included these for first-time readers, but the summaries are getting a little frustrating. I hope he tones them down a little soon.

Dead Beat The Dresden Files Book 7 Jim Butcher Books Reviews

I'm old. And I've read thousands of books. This is the best series of its kind. It keeps me up reading. It has me reaching for my kindle when I get up. I made my husband drive the car so I can read. If I'm awake, the phone (kindle) is in my hand or nearby. Nothing gets me upset. I'm too into the series to waste psychic energy or any other kind of energy when I could be reading. Seriously good writing. Lots of humor that has me chuckling along. Increasingly complex and thoroughly believably plot. Butcher doesn't think obtuse is necessary for complex plotting. And when the writing is this good, there is NO NEED for obtuse. I think I'm in love. And I'm not halfway through the series. YES!
Mr Butcher. Leid is neutrum. The German word for king is König. It is masculine. "Erlking " might be a concept in English, but in that case the books title should have been in English. In German, the books title should have been "Die Lieder des Erlkönings" (Lieder in plural, there were more than one). Surely you know some one who has one gradeschool years of German? Or you could afford a translator for a four word sentence?
Apparently not. The plural of Wolf is Wölfe. In chapter 27 DIE Erlking is mentioned. Singular, nominative, feminin. I Wonder that the Erlköning let Harry live.
And we have "The word by Heinrich Kemmeler". Harry reads it. And the you realize that it would probably have been in German. But instead of going back and fix this in some belivable way, you just say that Lasciel translated it. Really? She was caged right then.
Otherwise, I recommend this, one of the better ones.
Oh, the book? " Das Wort, von Heinrich Kemmeler".
It's been almost six months since I read the last Dresden Files book and I was left wondering why I'd waited so long. These books are truly extraordinary, with strong characters, a compelling mystery, and enough action for four books. Here, the evil vampire Mavra blackmails Harry into finding a book of black magic for her. There follows hunting for clues and battles with necromancers, aided by his brother Thomas, Butters the coroner, his werewolf friends, and a fallen angel. At every turn, just when you think things couldn't get any worse for Harry, things turn even grimmer. <s>Even when he seems to have finally met a nice girl she turns out to be his worst temptation.</s>. The final battle was amazing! It certainly won't be another six months before I read the next installment.
Chicago wizard Harry Dresden never has a dull moment. His (newly discovered) half-brother Thomas is now living with him in Harry's tiny sub-basement apartment; trouble is, Thomas, a seductive White Court vampire, can't hold a job (his female co-workers keep throwing themselves at him). Even worse, Mavra of the deadly Black Court of Vampires, has incriminating photos of Lt. Karrin Murphy of the Chicago PD, a long-time ally of Harry, in the act of committing murder; in order to protect Murphy, Harry must find and present the supernatural 'Book of Kemmler' to her. And just what is this book? Harry learns it's the instruction manual for necromancers to summon Darkhallow--a deadly ritual calling countless spirits back to life in order for the conjurer to absorb their spiritual energy to obtain godlike power. And three of Kemmler's disciples--all necromancers who can restore the dead back to zombie life--are also searching for the 'Book of Kemmler' to conduct Darkhallow on Halloween night, on the campus of Northwestern University. Harry must find a way to stop the ritual, battling necromancers who all possess more power than he, and procure the book to give to Mavra--which will put him at odds with his fellow White Council wizards. Needless to say, the action is fast-paced and furious, giving us DEAD BEAT, the seventh installment of the highly entertaining Dresden Files series.

To fully enjoy this installment, it's important the reader has read Death Masks, book five in the series. For openers, this book introduces us to Butters, the eccentric Medical Examiner; in DEAD BEAT, Butters becomes Harry's involuntary sidekick, as he faces--usually screaming--hordes of mindless zombies. And in 'Death Masks', Harry is exposed unwittingly to a Denarian--one of the thirty pieces of silver given long ago to Judas. This exposure has caused the demon Lasciel to inhabit Harry's sub-conscious, and by the seventh installment the beautiful Lasciel is proving to be one heck of a temptress. In grand Dresden Files fashion, Harry always has a quip at the ready; he may be facing a powerful necromancer commanding an army of zombies, but he's never going to take matters seriously. Author Jim Butcher has a knack for penning an exciting action tale while never taking his foot off the gas; DEAD BEAT moves like running barefoot on a sidewalk in August. We even have a contribution by the fierce spirit of a tyrannosaur to crowd in on the action! DEAD BEAT is a grand supernatural tale, daring the reader not to reach for the next installment in this highly acclaimed series.
