Small Favor / Jim Butcher

Small Favor by Jim Butcher. 420 pp.

The next Dresden Files book is due out in 2 weeks, so I wanted a quick refresher. This is one of my favorites from the series--the fae Gruffs (source of the Billy Goats Gruff fairy tale) are fabulous, I like Ivy/The Archive a lot (and Harry's relationship with her foreshadows what's going to happen in the new book, I bet), and Michael Carpenter gets to be awesome, as usual. Harry even manages to survive paying off one of the favors he owes the Queen of Air and Darkness without ending up more in her debt than when he started. This volume is a fun carnival ride with a happy ending; I have a feeling the new book won't end so well.
