Death Masks by Jim Butcher

Probably one of the best Dresden novels and definitely the most important in terms of characters. This novel introduces by far the best and most dangerous antagonist that Dresden faces throughout the novels. There are also tons of very important recurring characters introduced during the novel. All of these characters become the backbone for most of the novels for years to come. The story deals with incredibly high stakes and works wonderfully as a Dresden story.

There were a few grammatical errors but the writing has improved drastically over Storm Front. This one starts off much slower than Summer Knight, but the build up is exhilarating and the stakes are personal. Character growth is abundant in both Dresden and side characters. New characters are introduced, some I suspect will be coming back later, and probably the best bad guy so far. The one thing I still disliked is that Harry keeps falling into dumb traps that he really should have seen coming.
