Product Description
The new novel in the New York Times bestselling Dresden Files series.
No one's tried to kill Harry Dresden for almost an entire year, and his life finally seems to be calming down. For once, the future looks fairly bright. But the past casts one hell of a long shadow.
An old bargain has placed Harry in debt to Mab, monarch of the Winter Court of the Sidhe, the Queen of Air and Darkness-and she's calling in her marker. It's a small favor he can't refuse...one that will trap Harry Dresden between a nightmarish foe and an equally deadly ally, and one that will strain his skills- and loyalties-to their very limits.
It figures. Everything was going too well to last...

 I miss Lash October 13, 2008
Jim is at it again. Butcher has two issue that keep the stories from being Masterful IMO. First is that he has too much going on all at once. There is almost never just one bad guy normal three or four coming from different angles. He is amazing in that the story does not end up with a lot of confusing. The second is that he writes every book for the mass audience. Where this is great for his publisher, hearing the recap gets a bit old for some of us when we hit book 10. I'd like to see him put a Dresdin companion in every book telling the story to date and explaining how spell circles work... Either way though i'm hooked and am going to keep reading.

great story!! September 21, 2008
I've come to enjoy the "Dresden Files," and I can't wait for the next installment. "Why not rate 5 stars?," you ask? Well...there were more errors of spelling and grammar than I find acceptable. I don't think I'm a prude about such things, but I do have a limit. For instance, I couldn't find a single example of "praying mantis" not spelled "preying mantis," and it's repeated numerous times because of the storyline; I found it to be downright distracting. Errors also included subject/verb disagreements (makes me sound like an English teacher!), although these seem to be quite common these days.
My rating is 5 stars for story and 4 for editing, although 4 1/2 isn't an option on the scale. Keep them coming!!!
Great finish September 19, 2008

I've been a fan of the series for it's tight plotting, interesting characters and developed world. The book started a bit slow for me, and some of the beginning seemed per forma. Fortunately, Butcher plots very well and once the story got going it sucked me in like a new Kirby, with a very interesting and challenging finish.
 Fantastic book! August 26, 2008
Truly one of the best books in The Dresden Files.
Small Favor feels like Harry is maturing and facing up to many of his new-found responsibilities. The action is fast paced and very exciting!
excellent as usual August 20, 2008
I'm a big fan of this series and have not yet been disappointed.
This book is exciting from the very beginning to the end. Can't wait for
the next one. I will however recommend that you start at the beginning
of the series to meet all the characters and learn the plot. I highly recommend this book. It is pure reading pleasure!!
