Description

Fantasy. Fiction. Mystery. HTML:“A can’t-miss entry in one of the best urban-fantasy series currently being published.”—Booklist (starred review) As Chicago’s only professional wizard, Harry Dresden has faced demons, vampires, werewolves, dark sorcerers, and hosts of horrors from beyond the mortal realm. But nothing could have prepared him for this…   Long ago, Susan Rodriguez was Harry's Dresden’s lover—until she was attacked by his enemies, leaving her caught between humanity and the relentless bloodlust of the vampiric Red Court. She disappeared to South America, where she could fight both her savage gift and those who cursed her with it. Now, she needs Harry’s help more than ever.   For the vengeful Duchess of the Red Court has discovered a secret Susan has long kept from everyone—including Harry—and she plans to use it. To prevail, Harry may have to unleash the full fury of his untapped power—and he may have no choice but to embrace the darkness within himself.   Because this time, he’s fighting to save his child.… (more)

This is book 13 of the series so the character and world building was done a long time ago with a masterpiece hand. What can I say? I’m a long-time Jim Butcher fan so my opinion is biased. Reading Changes has reminded me why I love reading Jim Butcher so much! The wry humour showing through the

pages… non-stop suspense action chapter after chapter. The story telling quality is 5 out of 5, as per usual. So what new thing can I say about this book that I haven’t said already in previous Jim Butcher reviews? This book is obviously a pivotal point in the series, as aptly titled Changes. New developments in the story is emerging... And the ending was specifically designed to better torment die hard fans to having to wait for a year for the next installment…

This is one of the most action-packed of the episodes in this series, tying together a number of the background story lines into a single, good adventure story. One of the things I like most about the Dresden books is that Butcher doesn't allow himself to get stuck in one never-ending plot line
Show More
that, eventually, becomes boring. We had the introductory conflicts with Morgan; we had the Denarius stories that spanned five books; now he's bringing the Red Court story line to a rather gripping crescendo.

Another thing that I've always liked about these books is that the larger story lines spanned volumes, but each book was complete unto itself...the local story line reached a natural pause point while Harry and the reader contemplated the consequences of what he had just done. Book #12 followed that formula for 437 of its 438 pages. The story was over, though we see the trouble brewing on the horizon. Then, on 438, Mr. Butcher decides to gift us with his first cliff-hanger—an out-of-the-blue event that leaves us wondering if Harry is even going to survive. Though...of course...we know he will if we are to read any more books in the series.

Boo! We'd have bought them anyway; we didn't need to be aggravated for a year.

Dropped from recommended to mildly recommended for this reason—I recommend you hold off on this one until the next book is out. You get the added bonus of buying it in paperback.

From start to finish this book qualifies as the most intense addition to the Dresden Files series to date. The intricately woven plot, coupled with, as the title suggests, massive changes takes the reader on a journey that leaves you awe-struck at the power of friendship and the cost of loyalty. My

I love the Dresden Files. It is my favorite series right now. I'm completely fascinated by the world, the characters, the humor, and the danger. This book is no exception. It was good to see Susan back, and Mouse has an absolutely epic scene. The book closes with a heartbreaking scene and a

This is the twelfth book in the Dresden Files series by Jim Butchers. I seriously think this was the best book in this series so far, and that is saying something given how much I love this series.

Harry gets a call from his old flame Susan, she has a surprise for Harry. Harry has a child and his
Show More
daughter has been stolen by the Red Court. Harry will stop at nothing to save his child from the Red Court. He will petition all his allies for whatever help he can get. With the Red Court and the White Council at an uneasy truce; Harry won't be able to depend on the other wizards for help. Harry make have to make some deals to increase his power and call on help from unlikely sources.

I am afraid all I can do is gush about this book, it was amazing! Harry increases in power and gets pulled through a non-stop course of events that will have you on the edge of your seat the whole time. There is a reason this book is called "Changes". Harry goes through a number of huge changes in becoming a father and in having to make some tough decisions about how he will bend his morals to get the power he needs to save his daughter. Murphy goes through changes when she take up one of the Three Swords. Heck even Mouse, the dog, goes through Changes.

The pace of this book was phenomenal. Harry is catapulted from one interesting and creative situation to another; all of them life-threatening. Things happen to Harry in this book that make you want to cry, yet Butcher does an excellent job at not letting things get too heavy by throwing in some of the gallows humor he excels at. The action scenes were exquisite, the character development perfect (even for side characters). I feel like no side characters were forgotten, yet the book never seemed cluttered. There is a lot going on in this book. You have the White, Grey, and Black councils involved, the vampire courts involved, fairy involved, and the Three Holy Swords thrown in there. Molly has become a steadfast character as Harry's apprentice.

Harry is beginning to really become a force to be reckoned with. He is using his power in more intelligent ways and making better decisions; the way he resolves impossible situations is interesting and engaging. Butcher's writing is very readable and engaging and in general is just a joy to read. I forget how top-notch Butcher's writing style is and then I read one of his books and am reminded again and again.

If there is one thing to complain about in this book it is the ending. The book literally ends in the middle of a very important scene for Harry and I couldn't believe it. I was looking for more story and was sad that the book was over. Now, my next question is when is the next book coming out!!??

If you have been reading this series, get this book and read it. If you haven't started this series, get the previous eleven books and then read this one. Or read a summary of the plot online and then get this book and read it. Just make sure you read this book!!

Harry Dresden is a daddy. Well, a father, at any rate. Or so former lover and half-changed vampire Susan tells him, at the beginning of Changes. Not only that but Maggie--their daughter, eight years old and being raised away from both of her parents...for obvious reasons--has been kidnapped. By the
Show More
Red Court. To be used as a sacrifice in an ancient Mayan ritual.

More than this I cannot tell of the plot, knowing, as I do, how most people detest spoilers and how easily I could let something slip when summarizing the plot of this action-packed book. So here's what I'll say:

First, the Dresden Files is far and away the best urban fantasy series to be found. Jim Butcher strikes a perfect balance between the voice of his smart-ass protagonist and narrator and the fantastic, horrible, and truly evil things he encounters. Next, Changes, the twelfth in the series, is the best so far (although I should add the caveat that I'm a little behind, and still haven't read installments ten and eleven). The action is nearly non-stop but even so there is deep feeling and mad character development. Harry grows--and changes--in this book (it's been noted by many other reviewers how apt the title is), and what he's willing to do to save someone he loves, the sacrifices he's willing to make, will probably shock some. Changes gives a little more insight into the character and motivation of the two "grown-up" figures in Harry's life, Lea, his, ah, fairy godmother, and Ebenezer McCoy, his mentor and savior. We get into Mouse's head in this book (yeah, he's as cool as you'd think), and we observe Harry's apprentice Molly--still hopelessly smitten with her mentor--emerge as a person and as a practitioner of the arts. And Murphy--who, several books back was offered Fidelacchius--comes this much closer to taking on the mantle of Knight of the Sword.

And then there's the ending. I will give nothing away but let me tell you, it's a doozy. A cliff-hanger as precipitous as that which ended season three of Angel. Jim Butcher, I'm sorry to say this because I know your one true love is your "swords-and-horses" fantasy, but I'd like to make a plea: put that aside and give us more Dresden. And fast!

Just the title alone should give you warning. All the previous volumes have had two word, equal character count, titles. This doesn't. Nothing else remains the same either, it is a major pivot in the series. This is really different from the rest, shorter sharper, and not self-contained, despite
Show More
the re-introductory beginning. It ends on a major, major cliff-hanger: if you don't like these, the wait for the next one sometime next year. Be prepared for everything you thought you knew about Dresden's world to undergo Changes.

The plot is remarkably simple. The Red Court of the vampires have stolen the daughter Harry never knew he had. Susan needs Harry's help to get her back. Harry gathers up some friends and allies to go and get her back. A big fight ensues.

However along the way we learn a lot of secrets and see some major Changes - in Harry, who he is, what he represents, and how he copes. JB must be congratulated for managing the reveals such that they don't contradict anything in the previous books. (With possibly one exception in the chronology of his daughter White Night seems less than 4 years ago). It's almost impossible to discuss them though without revealing some massive spoilers about the plot - so go and buy the book and read it yourself.

I really enjoy the overarching sense of continuity and back-story that feeds into most of the volumes in the series. This makes them much more gripping than an isolated and unchanging series of events would do. JB's also particularly good at having the minor characters age and grow up alongside Harry. However we are still continuing from the Mary Sue problem, and even worse enemy inflation. Harry's now taking on minor godlings, and even with the aid he can muster, this is getting a bit silly. JB also resurrects his other problem - continually trashing and /or killing Harry's artefacts such that they only appear in one or two stories. At least we weren't inflicted with the 'how to make potions' device, however the introduction is very much a repeat of the basics - which is odd because JB hasn't felt the need to do so in the previous volumes.

Once this style has settled down though, the pace rapidly picks up, and real humdinger of a ride begins. I may never forgive JB for the ending though.

The prior eleven books in the Dresden Files series delivered antic but predictable stories that were mostly self-contained. Butcher developed characters and long story arcs sparingly in order to give more over to Dresden's wry tone and sock-bam action. The appropriately titled Changes appears to be
Show More
pushing the series into an entirely new direction. It's a move that might breathe life into a beloved series.

Changes come fast and furious as Harry Dresden is quickly out-classed and nonplussed by his ex-girlfriend and long-simmering enemies. Loose ends dealing with the Black Council and other long-running story lines have been mercifully abbreviated to keep the action focused. As the plot progresses, he rapidly loses home and property, only to lose things of greater import to him in the third act. I'll spare the details for the spoiler-conscious, but as Changes ends with a cliff-hanger, it's hard to imaging the familiar Dresden milieu will ever be back.

I've also got to give Butcher credit for finally killing his darlings, something I've seen him struggle with through almost every book in both the Dresden Files and Codex Alera. In addition to a major character, we see the entire extinction of one of Harry's oldest enemies.

Dresden should be given credit for a brave shakeup of the status quo, and I can't see how things land in future volumes.

HARRY DRESDEN, WIZARD is the entry in the phone book should you need to contact him. He’s great at finding things or people should the need arise and you’re lucky enough to have an article that will link to the person. In this case, Harry has to find his daughter. A daughter that he never knew
Show More
existed until his former lover, Susan Rodriguez, calls and tells him she’s been taken by the Red Court. What is the Red Court? Vampires, what else! It appears that Duchess Ariana Ortega is determined to settle the score she holds against him for killing her husband several years back.

Harry doesn’t know what to believe when he’s first informed with the news. Eventually he decides that even if this is not his daughter there is a little girl out there who needs his help. He begins to channel through his contacts in order to gain the help he will need to rescue the girl from the Red Court. It ain’t gonna be easy! Harry knows he’s gone up against many competitors that were far stronger than he is and he’s been lucky. To pull this off he will have to pull out all the stops and try and bring down the entire vampire court. He’s gonna need lots and lots of back up. His only dread is that his back up consists of those he loves and wants to protect most in the world. So far, Harry has never compromised his integrity to win a fight. Now he must make the hardest decisions of his life if he wants to save the girl. Alliances are formed that he would rather not have had to make, but is it worth it?

Jim Butches is an exceptional writer. I love his Dresden Files series and am always scrambling on release date to pick up the latest copy. Lucky for me there are now digital ebooks and I can simply purchase, hit download, and jump into Harry’s world of mayhem and menace. I think this might be the best Harry book yet and it is the first time Jim has ever left us flittering on a cliffhanger. I didn’t know if I should be shocked or appalled.  In the end, I decided that shocked was the way to go and I’m very saddened that I have to wait at least another year for the next installment. Woe is me; however, even through all of the woes I am anxiously awaiting what happens next.

I'm likely in the minority here, but I just felt more and more upset as I read this book. Don't get me wrong, I'm still a big fan of the series and I really wanted to love this one, but I just didn't.

The title, "Changes" is appropriate. What I didn't realize, was just how much of everything I knew
Show More
and liked about Harry Dresden would be shaken up. First, he loses all his material possessions -- all the things that lent him charm like his apartment, his office, his trusty staff and the resilient little Blue Beetle. Second, and most importantly, I he loses much of his good old dependable integrity. It was a little painful watching him take one questionable choice after the next with a blind and creepy determination that's just not like Harry at all.

Of course, he does all this for a very good reason -- his daughter. Any loving parent would do the same, especially given how much family means to Harry. I just wish the author hadn't used this convenient plot device to carry out so many changes in one fell swoop. It felt a little forced. Especially since I already suspected this might happen halfway into the series, the last time Susan showed up. But I thought, nah! Little did I know...

At the same time, I think I understand where Jim Butcher is trying to go with this. Ever since the series has become less about Harry Dresden, P.I. and more about Harry Dresden, Superhero, or in other words, less about mystery and more about urban fantasy soap opera, I've been expecting something like this. I get that it has been twelve books and Harry almost needs a "reset" button. I also get how Changes is intended to be a turning point, a probable "rebirth" of sorts. While the humor is still there, old happy-go-lucky Harry is gone, replaced with emotionally and physically damaged and tortured Harry. I feel the series turning to a new direction. Not that there's anything wrong with that...I'm just not sure what to think about it yet.

I guess I'll have to read the next book to find out.

Changes is the perfect title for this book. Harry's entire world changes when he learns that he has a daughter and she is now in the hands of some of his worst enemies. He must determine which lines he will cross in order to get her back safely. What is he willing to sacrifice to keep her alive?

Jim Butcher truly pushes Harry to his limits in this book -- emotionally, physically, and magically.

Dresden and his friends are in constant danger as someone (or something) tries to kill him with all manner of attacks. Once again, we see who will stand with Dresden even in the face of certain death and who will abandon him to save their own skin. Politically, Dresden is a step behind as usual but he generally figures it all out just in time. Of course, what he figures out this time leads to some even larger questions and the choices he makes along the way have far reaching consequences.

I love the non-stop action in the Dresden books. Although Dresden has a lot to think about and many choices to make, he rarely has the time for serious contemplation. Dresden's humor is another of my favorite things about this series. He rarely knows when to stop with the wise-cracks, even in the most serious of situations. He faces death with sarcasm and quotes from Star Wars.

I think this book may be my favorite in the series so far because we learn so much about who Harry Dresden truly is and what he stands for. Butcher ends Changes with a serious cliff-hanger and I cannot believe I have to wait until March 2011 for Ghost Story to come out!

After reading "Changes," my first thought was that this is the most appropriate title I have ever seen, and my second though was that some people are going to be majorly disappointed in the direction this book takes. So, I wasn't surprised to find some less than glowing reviews. My own opinion is
Show More
mixed. I enjoyed the book far more than the last one because in addition to the nearly non-stop action and biting sarcasm, it had a lot of closure. One insurmountable enemy is finally taken down. There are still plenty left, but we get a sound victory none-the-less. However, I do agree with other reviewers that Harry Dresden drastically changes in this book, doing things that I do not feel are keeping with the character from the first 10 books. And I also hate cliffhangers. The last couple of pages could easily have been the first of the next book without leaving readers annoyed.

Harry has an 8 year old daughter, taken by the Red Court. He will get her back at any cost. Truly - even making a Faustian bargain to do so. Another reader complained that Harry didn't seem to react to much during all the action. For me, it was more like he was in shock through most of the book. Not only does he reunite with a woman he loved, he learns he has a daughter she never told him about, taken by some pretty sick monsters and he takes actions that eat away at him to get her back. Yeah, shock seemed perfectly reasonable to me, and fit with the story. The book left me depressed though, because our good guys are losing their souls. I was very unhappy with what happened to Thomas, who no longer fights against his demon, Ebenezer is the Blackstaff who can kill with magic, and now Harry is suddenly an "ends justify the means" type of guy? It was disturbing, to say the least.

On the other hand, Butcher's writing is top notch. The pace is fast, but doesn't carelessly roll over details either. They plan, they prepare, they follow through. I also enjoyed that Harry gathers all his allies together for the assault, Molly and his Faery Godmother included. The final battle is exciting, surprising and there are casualties. This book went to a very dark place. I am anxious to read the next book, to see where Butcher goes with this. But, I am afraid that it could be the last Dresden File I read.

I cannot believe how amazing this book was! But SERIOUSLY Jim, must you torment us with that ending? I can't believe I have to wait until next year to read the next one. I loved the book. It was amazing. All of our favorite characters showed up, and a couple epic new players.

I was so eager to read this book after basically reading from 1 - 11 in fairly quick succession and found them to improve steadily book after book... until this one - I can't really put my finger on what was off, but it didn't seem to flow like the others. It wasn't a very original story overall
Show More
either; loved one trapped and in danger, risking impossible odds to save the innocent... Yes - there were new elements and the whole child thing - but in the end it was just more of the same and didn't really advance the core characters in their relationships (Thomas, Murphy, Molly...). ... and the ending was for crap. I just hate series that end with a surprise cliffhanger - seems only to happen when authors get a little too wrapped up in themselves - why not wait and make that the start of the new book rather than drop a bomb and leave readers waiting... how long this time?? What happens if the author doesn't write the next book - the character is just stuck in that tragic limbo. It's like hearing one of your favorite songs but at the end you find out it is a cutout from a mixtape and the next song is starting up before the song you like has ended. Ok - so a few "issues" but it is a Dresden Files book and I liked it - but I would say if you are new to the series there are 11 better books that come before this one.

Holy Frickin Carp!!! (Yes i mean fish). Wow, just wow is all I can say. Mr. Butcher has once again put together a book that just blows everything you thought you knew away. This book should not be read first. Read any of the other books before this one. The title is apt. This book changes

everything.

I bought it at 9 a.m. and had it finished by 10 p.m. I also had two job interviews that day and of course driving to and from the interviews. Also had to take a nap. Was too excited the night before and it was like Christmas eve for a kid. Couldn't go to sleep :)

The plot was once again masterfully constructed. Though I thought they spent too much time in Chicago for this one. A lot of old characters we've come to know and love had cameo's. Even a few that we love to hate showed up. Deals were made, promises broken, love never dies. All in all a killer read!!!

The book starts off with a bang and ends with a bang and seldom pauses for breath in between. The best book in the series so far but the ending is just evil.
LibraryThing member Artur
Changes is a book that lives up to its title, as a reader of this series will see many familiar and comfortable facets of this world altered.

Jim Butcher writes well, and the story has plenty of action, twists, and turns to satisfy most readers, and this book stands as a good entry in the Dresden
Show More
series. But there are a few negatives.

Butcher’s cast of uber-powerful beings for Dresden to battle and/or team up with is getting a little incredulous. Gone from the series is Dresden the P.I. and the noir elements that go along with it, and Dresden is fast becoming a supernatural superhero, throwing enormous power everywhere, allying with gods and archangels, challenging dark demigods and so on and so forth until it all starts to look a bit too comic book, rather than the intriguing, somewhat more restrained stories that have been so compelling in the past.

And that damn cheesy, amateurish cliffhanger was an insulting bow to marketing.

A good, but not great, Dresden entry that is lifted by Butcher’s storytelling ability.

As my own life goes to hell around me it is kind of cathartic to read about Harry,

Poor Jim Butcher. People keep flocking to his Dresden files series no matter how much he pushes them towards his sword and sorcery series. I'm part of the crowd, having read all of the first series and none of the second... but then sword and sorcery isn't a genre I'm particularly fond of.

I
Show More
continue to think that the main problem with the Dresden Files is that Harry is always forced to fight against odds that are close to impossible, without enough help or resources. In this one, the prize in the fight is the best one Harry has ever fought for. He finds out that he has a daughter by his former lover, and the daughter has been kidnapped by a very old and powerful vampire of the Red Court who plans to sacrifice the girl in order to curse Harry and his kin. Harry is a wizard of the White Council which is at war with the Red Court, and the outcome may determine who wins.

So Harry and his friends and allies are tested as never before, and it produces a book that is very much a page-turner. I'm happy I read it on the weekend, as it was about 1 am before I finished it.

The book ends in an unexpected way that may put the future of the series in doubt. I'm anxious to see what Butcher comes up with next.

Book number 12 in Butcher's Dresden Files series, featuring wizard/private eye Harry Dresden. In this one, Harry is informed, much to his shock, that one of his many enemies has kidnapped the daughter he never knew he had. Needless to say, he sets out to rescue her, and in typical fashion things

get more complicated from there. I do think that perhaps this series is starting to creak a bit under the weight of its own continuity. There are places where Butcher almost seems to spend as much time recapping relevant events from previous books as he does telling the story in this one. (Quite legitimately, I might add; fallible as my memory is, I know I needed the reminders.) Still, once it really gets going, it's got pretty much everything I've come to expect from this series: exciting action, a smart-assed sense of humor, and a few surprising (and occasionally ouchy) twists. True to its title, it also features some substantial and interesting changes in Harry's life, and as for the ending... Well, all I'll say is that it certainly left me impatient for the next volume.

Changes is the twelfth book in Jim Butcher's Dresden Files series. The title could not be more apt. By the novel's end not a single thing remains from the first novel with the exception of the characters themselves. While Harry has always been the underdog and fighting against impossible odds, this

novel takes it to another level completely. It pulls no punches, and by the end if you're not feeling a bit gutted, it's not without a strong effort on Butcher's part. In order to save his daughter, Harry will go to places he's never gone, make deals with the devil, meet a god, lead those closest to him into a no-win scenario and some of them don't make it out. An absolute roller coaster with constant twists and turns. I've yet to be disappointed with a book in this series and I'm already anxiously awaiting the next.

Simply jaw-dropping. I can’t believe how many changes take place in this story; it’s clearly a major turning point in the series. Even though everything is different now, I can’t wait to see where the story goes from here, which says a lot about Jim Butcher’s talent as an author. I applaud
Show More
him for fearlessly shattering the formula that’s proved so successful in his previous novels in favor of top notch storytelling. So many authors have the give-the-readers-what-they-want mentality, resulting in books that sell well yet are a far cry from brilliant masterpieces. This story, on the other hand, melds marvelous writing with the classic Dresden Files wry humor that fans have come to expect to create a novel that’s deeply emotional and serious, full of plot twists - some predictable, others completely unforeseen - and, most significantly, successful in shifting the series in a new, fascinating direction. In many ways, Changes is a transitional book, yet it’s still a whole, complete, finished story. While the cliffhanger ending makes you eagerly anticipate the next installment, it still leaves you feeling satisfied. There’s clearly more to come, but a conclusion to this particular story has been reached. Overall, Changes is one of the best Dresden Files novels so far and I am supremely glad that Harry’s adventures will continue, albeit in different and unexpected ways.
