Summer Knight (Dresden Files)
In the fourth novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling series featuring everyone's favorite wizard for hire, Harry Dresden is suckered into the tangled--and dangerous--affairs of Faerie... Ever since his girlfriend left town to deal with her newly acquired taste for blood, Harry Dresden has been down and out in Chicago. He can't pay his rent. He's alienating his friends. He can't even recall the last time he took a shower. The only professional wizard in the phone book has become a desperate man. And just when it seems things can't get any worse, in saunters the Winter Queen of Faerie. She has an offer Harry can't refuse if he wants to free himself of the supernatural hold his faerie godmother has over him--and hopefully end his run of bad luck. All he has to do is find out who murdered the Summer Queen's right-hand man, the Summer Knight, and clear the Winter Queen's name. It seems simple enough, but Harry knows better than to get caught in the middle of faerie politics. Until he finds out that the fate of the entire world rests on his solving this case. No pressure or anything...

From the very beginning I loved this book.
Raining frogs, at first I thought it was a saying.... I should have known better in this series. I really enjoy that things from past books aren't just forgotten and filed away. They still happened, and the characters still have to deal with the consequences. It makes reading them in order intensely gratifying.
I very much enjoyed the insight of this installment. I got to see more of Harry's past, the council operations, and other wizards. I enjoyed all the reunions.
The descriptions of the fae characters was amazing, especially the ladies and mothers. I have the description of the winter lady bookmarked. It was so easy to visualize and find yourself completely immersed into the scene.
I /LOVED/ that he finally let Murphy in. I can't wait to see how that changes things in upcoming books.
Way to go ending. I was in the last chapter and still hadn't quite figured everything out. But Harry had, and the reveal was awesome.
p.s. the unicorn? ..... I'm going to have nightmares.

This is what I was waiting for! What a great book! Butcher is really deepening the character progression and connecting the wonderful world of the supernatural here. Love how he articulates and manages the fae characters and world - really well done. The hierarchy and strict rules of the fae are well crafted and communicated and adds for some interesting scenarios for Harry.
Loved this book.
I really enjoyed the third book and thought it was my favorite of the series thus far.
Then I read Summer Knight and it became quite clear that IT was the best and most favorite book of the Dresden Files so far. I loved that we got some major character development and really delved into the Fae sides of things. So many interesting things that took place.
We also had a couple of new supernatural baddies that I thought was a really awesome addition to the Dresden-verse.
