White Night by Jim Butcher
White Night is the ninth novel in Jim Butcher’s DRESDEN FILES series. If you haven’t read up to this point in the series yet, please stop here and go away…
Well, now I’m sure that I’ve been left talking to myself because nobody who’s read this far is going to care what I have to say about White Night. The previous novel, Proven Guilty, was awesome, so you’d have to be brain-dead to not want to pick up White Night immediately, which means you don’t need to read this review. That’s how I know you’re not there. In fact, I can say anyhoting I want ot say here and not evein bother to correct my spellign or grammar because I know yhou’re not there. You’re reading White Night and nothing I say matters. So, I’m going to just tlak to myself here and jot down a few notes so I can later distinguish this book from the other DRESDEN FILES books because part of why I review books is so I can remember them later.
This is the one where female magic users are being picked off by someone and all the evidence suggests that the perp is Harry’s half-brother Thomas. It looks like the Red Court is involved and things continue to be unsettled with the White Council. Elaine, Harry’s first love, shows up to help the Wiccan women. She kicks butt. Harry is relying more and more on his allies, and they’re a great group of characters. The fight with the ghouls goes on too long. Harry learns some things about his mother. The story continues to expand, the characters get more interesting, the prose is smooth and the dialogue is funny. These later books are better than the first books in the series, and that’s something that rarely happens. White Night is not quite as good as Proven Guilty, but it’s still really entertaining. The audio versions read by James Marsters are super duper extra spectacularly amazing, which is not how I would put it if I had an audience.
This review needs to be a little longer, so Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit I know there’s nobody listening and wondering if it’s okay to use apostrophes in Lorem ipsum text ‘cause it’s Latin, right, and I think there’s no apostrophes in Latin.

There. Now I can go read book ten, Small Favor.
“If we get out of this, I’m going to buy you a pony.” (Or words to that effect.) That was my favorite line in this book.
Kat for the most part a good review, but I had trouble understanding parts of it, almost as if it were written in another language.
Diese Besprechung lässt erheblich zu wünschen übrig — ich versteh kein Wort! Or should that have been Latin? Agree on the Marsters btw. I joined audible specially. I shall have to indulge in a re-read before the next one comes out (already pre-ordered)!
P.S. You ned to watch the spelingl there; we cretianyl are heer.
Wow, I’m so gald soemone was lsitneing! I was convniced nobody would read this!
