Description

After a brief interlude in the afterlife, Harry Dresden’s new job makes him wonder if death was really all that bad in this novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling series.

Harry Dresden is no longer Chicago’s only professional wizard. Now, he’s Winter Knight to Mab, the Queen of Air and Darkness. Her word is his command. And her first command is the seemingly impossible: kill an immortal. Worse still, there is a growing threat to an unfathomable source of magic that could mean the deaths of millions.
 
Beset by enemies new and old, Harry must gather his friends and allies, prevent an apocalypse, and find a way out of his eternal subservience before his newfound infinite powers claim the only thing he has left to call his own...
 
His soul.

    There's not many characters that I love as much as Harry. He's the one person I can always relate with. Thank you Mr. Butcher for keeping Harry alive this long.

    Excellent story! I have never been disappointed by any of the Dresden Files. The characters are fierce, funny, intelligent, frightening & completely lovable or worthy of your wrath. There are so many twists and turns. You never know what direction you're heading next, you just know it's going to be one hell of a ride! I'll be anxiously awaiting the next book. Can't wait to see what everyone is going to get into next!
  • A great read!

    A fan of Urban-Fantasy or someone that likes a new twist on older folklore won't regret buying any book in this series. Humor is just another reason to keep reading.

    Each book changes Harry a little. I still like him at the end and want to see what happens next....that is the secret to writing a good book. This is a good story with many layers of plot. I may have to read it again to see the pieces of story that I missed.

    If you are a Dresden fan this book will not disappoint. I am amazed that this series gets more interesting with every turn and enjoyed my escape into the world of wizard/warden/knight Harry Dresden. Good read.

    I've been a fan of Jim's books since I first was given Fool Moon 12 years ago. It has been fun to watch him develop as a writer over the years. He seems to delve deeper into multiple layers of mythology to introduce new characters to help propel these stories and that is fun, for me at least, to read. I won't go into any plot details, but suffice it to say this is another great Dresden novel. It contains all of the twist and turns we've come to know and love from Mr. Butcher. As I finished the book, I felt a twinge in my heart because I know that Harry Dresden's end game it coming soon. Sure, that's about 9 books from now, but I will miss these characters once this series if over.
  • Wow

    My wife & I both read Cold Days already, and she is on her second time through the book. As soon as I finish re-reading some of the previous books on a clue-hunting trip, I plan to re-read it as well. Top notch.
  • Meh...

    Seems to me that someone else is writing these books and jim is signing his name to them. There was very little witty batter and the entire book, Harry was down and out. You could read the first few chapters and then skip to the last few and not miss anything in between. It was tough to get through Cold Days and this was even tougher. Where's the good story telling and suspense from Death Masks? The only thing keeping this book from getting 1 star was that he did reveal who's behind all the insanity enveloping the world.
  • Best series I've read!!

    The Dresden books just keep getting better. Cold days lives up to the rest of the series. And is now one of my favorites. Only bad part is the wait for the next!
  • Par for the (excellent) Course

    Harry Dresden - wizard for hire, ghost, and now Winter Knight back from the (almost) dead. Cold Days is a superb entry, continuing the Dresden Files tradition of having a gripping narrative that never shies away from lasting consequences - both good and bad - with a climax not quite what you may have expected. I look forward to reading the next volume of this series, and this volume has only reinforced my support of the series to would-be readers.
