Jim Butcher’s classical series has never failed to impress anyone because the character of Harry Dresden is highly engaging. Jim developed this character long ago as this is the fifteenth book of the series but since then the fans have always been craving for more. No one is tired of listening to the missions of Harry Dresden because there is always something new and energetic in the story. That last-minute twist decorated Cold Days and Dead Beat as well and like always the tool is used in this novel too.
Harry Dresden has fallen into a mess once again and that has been his life since the day his fate got into the hands of the Queen of Air and Darkness. It is Mab who is controlling Harry’s fate now and there is nothing he can do except fulfill the tasks that are given to him.
This time Mab wants Harry to break into the vault which is located in Chicago’s most secure zone after which he would be able to break into the vault present in Nevernever. The plan is simple i.e to steal the Holy Grail and keep everything hidden from, the eyes of Hades who happens to be the lord of the underworld. Harry’s chances of survival might have been higher if he had not been given a team by Mab.
Now Harry is on a mission with one of his greatest enemies and Harry thinks that his team has a plan to get rid of him as well. James Marsters had to narrate in a hasty voice in this fifteenth part because Harry happens to be in serious trouble.
