I received an advanced copy of Twelve Months by Jim Butcher from NetGalley for an honest review. This review will contain spoilers from the previous book, Battleground.
Harry Dresden is dealing with the aftermath of the battle of Chicago. Along with his city in ruins, so is his life. He lost friends, specifically Karen, who perished in battle. His half-brother Thomas is being held in suspended animation on Demonreach, until Harry can devise a cure. He has been kicked out of the White Council, and the Queen of Winter, Mab, is forcing a courtship and marriage to Lara, the White Court Vampire. Harry finds himself dealing with loss, while he tries to rebuild himself, along with the city.
Among his losses, Harry gains new allies, along with old friends to aid with his healing.
This novel of the Dresden Files is a transitional novel, moving the narrative towards the next major event in Harry’s life. Butcher’s writing keeps the reader engaged as Harry deals with his grief and acceptance. He saves the best for last with an explosive ending. I can’t wait to see where this story goes next. A definite must-read.
