About this listen

Things are about to get serious for Harry Dresden, Chicago's only professional wizard, in the next entry in the number one New York Times and number one Sunday Times best-selling Dresden Files.

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.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, although I am majorly heartbroken over some of the developments. Some of these developments were long in the making and shadows were cast from past books, some were an absolute gut punch and one left me rather surprised as I did not see this coming.
These books - clearly it is one large book with Peace Talks being the first part - throw Harry’s world into a spin again, just like Changes turned everything upside down.
It always felt up until Changes was Episode 1, and now up to these books we had episode 2. Cannot wait what will happen in Episode 3, just please don’t take another six years for the next book.
James Marsters obviously outdoes himself again, he channels Dresden so well and is part of the reason these audiobooks are so enjoyable.

Great read - but needs to be read with Peace Talks

The wait was worth it. This has replaced Dead Beat as my favourite in the series though it was an emotional roller coaster. The excellent short story at the end was the icing on the cake.

Best in the series

This must have been one of the most engrossing and captivating experiences I have had in years. I literally could not stop listening and stayed up past midnight to finish. Strap yourselves in cause this is a banger of a book. The pace is relentless, the emotions raw and the writing razor sharp. And Marsters' voice...... after all these years I still don't know how to describe it. It's like a vice, like smooth chocolate with just a little something extra.

Absolutely worth it
