    Some thoughts on Skin Game:

     

     

     

    I love Michael Carpenter but he felt forced into the book. It was almost as if Butcher changed his mind halfway through the book about who should be watching Dresden's back. 

    Also, Nicodemus should be Darth Vader levels of unstoppable awesome evil but he just felt, well, weak. He is one of my favorite book villains and he didn't feel right this time around.

    I am SO glad that Harry will not end up with Molly. That was always wrong and it felt like Butcher was pushing that for a few books. I also really like the idea of Dresden's "children". I fully expect that they will be their own spin off series in the near future.

    I just finished Skin Games by Jim Butcher, it's the latest book in the Dresden Files series.  I liked it, but I don't think it's Butchers best work.  It felt like a filler book for the most part.  I like what he did, I just didn't get the feeling that his heart was in it.  This could have been a fairly epic storyline, but it played out kinda.....underwhelmingly, slightly.  I don't want to give anything away, but I think considering the caliber of bad guy that was involved Butcher could have been a bit more....inventive.  He did bring in some nice elements, and I think handled the relationships very well.  Maybe it's coming down to having too many interesting characters and not having enough pages :D.  I WANT MAOR !!!!

     

    I recommend this book, as I do anything else Butcher writes.  It's popcorn, but it's the most delicious kind of popcorn, chocolate covered bacon pecan pie popcorn.....

    Agreed!  Solid and tied up some story lines but not great.  Still a solid read for fans, though.
