Starred Review: TWELVE MONTHS by Jim Butcher Kirkus: This is wizard Harry Dresden’s yearlong mourning period for Karrin Murphy, the woman he loved. If you keep upping your protagonist’s powers throughout a series, then you must balance the scales by increasing the number and strength of their enemies—as well as seriously messing with their personal life. Over the course of the Dresden Files, Harry Dresden, Chicago PI and now one of the most powerful wizards in the world, thought his first love was dead (she wasn’t), sacrificed his half-vampire girlfriend on an altar to save their child, lost another girlfriend when they learned she’d been mind-controlled into their relationship, bound himself into servitude as the Fae Queen Mab’s Winter Knight, and, for the length of an entire book, thought he himself was dead (he wasn’t). https://maassagency.com/starred-review-twelve-months-by-jim-butcher-2/
