Woot wooooooot! We're getting started on the next installment of The Dresden Files and I'm so excited! I have my reservations about this book (more on that in the episode) but there's still some great shit coming up and I'm excited to get to it all.

This book starts of with Harry running for his life from some literal flying monkeys while saving a basket full of puppies. It's the most quintessential Harry Dresden Moment so far in the series, to be honest, and RoShawn is totally here for the puppy that winds up in the bottom of Harry's car hidden under his seat. Yay! Puppies!

Also, Thomas Raith is here which throws her for a bit of a loop, but she's very happy to see him because he's such a fun character. She's a little surprised by how serious he is, though, as compared to other times we've seen him, and there's a really tense moment between him and Harry when Justine comes up in conversation.

Overall, this is a great couple of opening chapters, and I can't wait to get further into the book. This is gonna be fun! Thanks for listening!
