Twelve Months by Jim ButcherMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Jim Butcher is back after another five year hiatus for The Dresden Files, after personal battles took out his old energy that made him one of the most prolific fantasy writers in the business in the 2000s. Finally following up on the Battle of Chicago duology novels released back to back in 2020, it's clear that Butcher was working through those real-life problems through his novels, as Harry Dresden and his remaining friends struggle to pick up the pieces in a city that's been bombed back to the Dark Ages - literally. But the supernatural threats to the world continue apace, and one in particular feels like it's setting up for the eventual conclusion of the series in Butcher's projected "apocalyptic trilogy." But, if this ends up being the last book in the series, I'd say it ends on a pretty high note all the same.
