There was almost no room for breathing, and this was especially true in the middle section of the book, and I have to say that it did bore me a bit. Unfortunately, this novel by far the most action-packed volume of the series so far. If you’ve been following my reviews, you know how much I enjoyed reading The Dresden Files, but at the same time, you’re also probably sick of me criticizing the pacing of its action scenes in some volumes. Small Favor, the tenth volume in the series, is an installment full of actions. Suffice to say the life for Harry and his friends are imperiled once again. There’s a lot going on here Were-goats, the Archive, the Knights of the Cross, Marcone, Mab, and last but not least, Nicodemus and the Denarians. Mab, the Queen of Air and Darkness, calls in an old favor from Harry Dresden, and immediately all hell breaks loose. Just when he thought his life is looking up, everything seems to be at peace, but then the past visits. “Punctuality is for people with nothing better to do.” I actually wish I can prolong my speed, but it seems likely that by October or November, I’ll be fully caught up with the series. To the longtime fans of the series, here’s a brief reminder that Peace talks, the long-awaited sequel in The Dresden Files series, is out now! As for me, I’m still slowly catching up. For better or worse, Small Favor is a fully action-packed packed-have I mentioned packed?-volume.
