Wow, what a fun, yet tense, and highly informative book of the Dresden Files. We've got a number of former characters from various books coming together to interact with Harry - but in new ways, as this is Harry 2.0, the Winter Knight. Although he may only be version 1.5, as he's still figuring out this Winter Mantle business. And he may not get any further, as the book begins with Harry having ju...

Back to Tanchico, where Elayne and Nynaeve are trying to make progress on their dual mission: Find the item here that is dangerous to Rand, and find the Black Sisters. But this time, they'll find more than they bargained for, some revelations with huge implications. #TheShadowRising #WoT #TheWheelOfTime #wheeloftime #fantasyWe hope you'll Like and Subscribe!

Four seasons done, one more to go. This incredible leading original show of Netflix has made the career of some stars, revitalized others, and charmed (and terrified) its fans. Jim is one of those fans, and in this "Just Jim" episode he discusses some key points and highlights of the show so far, and then goes off the deep end to make predictions of how it all wraps up in the final season to come....

He's back, baby! Well, sort of. It's a bit of a process. Being "mostly dead" takes a toll on a person. Harry's recovery, physical therapy, and eventual transformation into next level Sir Harry Dresden makes for quite a tale. And the transformation is both inside and out, and not what all will expect.

Time to return to the Three-Fold Land, and see who Rand, Mat, and Egwene are faring as they journey along in hopes of rallying the Aiel to Rand's cause. Just because Rand things he's moved fast enough to outguess the Forsaken doesn't mean things are going to be easy, though. Wait until you see what's in store in these chapters! #wheeloftime #WoT #fantasy Join us on Discord: https://discord.gg/jMWy...

Harry Dresden died at the end of Changes. How can there be more books in the series? Well, it may help that this title starts with the word "Ghost".

Join me as I take a comprehensive look at the events of book 9 of The Dresden Files, White Night, where we have the surface tale of Harry trying to solve the case of a serial killer taking out female magic users, set over the top of the greater story of vampire politics, Denarian developments, and Harry's romantic relationships with women... and men??? All all of which leads up to a ghoulishly exp...

It's traveling time! Rand and his friends (Is it too soon to call the Aiel his "friends?") are leaving Rhuidean, and will spend a couple chapters here traveling through the Waste with myriad conversations and adventures. And they pick up some companions - the kind the Aiel don't kill. In this case, it's a peddler's wagon. Because of this addition, both Rand and Mat will never be the same. Trust us...

Book 8 of the Dresden Files represents a major shift for the overall story, as the deep plot progresses in a big way. Harry's role in all this is going to be significantly transformed by this story, and a minor character becomes pretty major as a result.
