And on this second read-through, I admit that Harry seems a little less likable than I remember. Taken in context, it's clear that this is a result of all that's happened to Harry in the five years since the events of Storm Front. Dead Beat has a very high quotient of grey-area morality. I'm reviewing this with you because long-running series can make it difficult to see this transformation take place (unless you read the books nearly back-to-back, as I've been doing). Indeed, Harry and The Dresden Files have come a long way since book one.
#Blackened denarius professional
Harry's gone from "Chicago's only professional wizard" to "vampire-bane, faerie-killing wizard." As if losing the woman he loved wasn't bad enough, now Harry has to contend with the shadow of a fallen angel yammering at him to accept her coin so he can gain power. Last time we saw him, Harry was taking down a scourge of uppity Black Court vampires along with not-so-human mercenary Kincaid and all-too-human Chicago police officer Karrin Murphy. Since then, he has started a war between the wizards and Red Court vampires he has killed a faerie queen and prevented a war between the Summer and Winter courts he has been offered the mantle of Winter Knight and picked up the Blackened Denarius of Fallen Angel Lasciel. Let us take a moment to look back at how far Harry Dresden has come from busting a sorcerer in Storm Front.
