It is the darkest and the most solemn of the series so far, and it is exceptional. If you’re reading this expecting the book would be one of happiness, joy, and fun, you couldn’t be farther from the truth. Changes, in a way, retain the similar storytelling structure that the series has, but the events that occurred signified several pivotal and turning points in the series. Harry’s life has always been filled with cruelties that piles on endlessly, and the only saving grace to his sanity is probably his happy-go-lucky attitude, and even that part of him is about to be put to the limit and beyond here. It takes a lot of guts for Harry to think that way. “Even in winter, the cold isn't always bitter, and not every day is cruel.” I still have Ghost Story, Cold Days, Skin Game, and Peace Talks (yay!) to go through, but for now, I’m inclined to agree with their assessments. Changes, the twelfth installment in The Dresden Files has often been praised as the best book in the series. There’s, however, an exception for one title, it’s this book. If you’ve been paying attention to the title of each volume in The Dresden Files series, you’ll notice that every one of them is made up of two words. Changes was insane, a true Game-Changer for the series.
