Standard issue Dresden Files. submitted by eknapp on August 3, 2014, 6:10pm Mab forces Harry to work a heist run by Nicodemus in order to pay off an old debt. The target: the Holy Grail, in a vault owned by none other than Hades himself and buried in his Underworld.

Standard issue Dresden Files. The wise-assery is funny and the geek culture references are excellent:
"I've had worse. Only a flesh wound."
"Yeah, 'Tis but a scratch, come on ya pansy!'"
"...pansy?"
"Oh. You weren't quoting the movie."
"Movie?"
"Holy Grail?"
"Nicodemus still has it."
Sigh. "Never mind."

Butcher is beginning to bog his characters down in burdensome nobility. A holy righteousness, albeit a sarcastic, juvenile holy righteousness. I miss the days when Dresden would just nuke the bad guys. Hey, they deserved it. Nowadays he spends way to much time trying to REDEEM them. Urk.

Dresden submitted by kathscot on July 28, 2017, 1:11pm As always, lots of fighting and a few surprises.
