At the end of Ghost Story, Harry Dresden's tenure as the Winter Knight began. Now, Mab has given him his first assignment, and it's a doozy! 
 Butcher's favourite word this book is "oblique." There was one page where it appeared three times, and it just kept coming up again and again. It was bad enough to be a drinking game! 
 Then there was the casual sexism. It's been toned down over the last several books, but Dresden's claim that women have up to five levels of conversation at the same time was just ridiculous. Worse yet, it just went on and on, this was only a few pages after Dresden goes to a place where men look for casual sex and has a whole conversation with Titania about how he's totally okay with the gays because freedom is important. It was so cringe-inducing, and sadly immature. 
 But other than that, I enjoyed the book. Dresden's changing roles keep the series from getting stale. And it's been interesting to see him do without more and more of his standard tools.
