Small Favor (The Dresden Files, #10)

I was blown away by White Knight and couldn't possibly imagine this series getting any better than that. I'm happy to say Butcher may have done so. If anything, Small Favor's at least on the same level with what I already considered the best in the series.
Maybe I'm drinking the kool-aid at 10 books in, but this series has gotten much less annoying to me as it's progressed. I didn't notice too many over-explanations in this installment that drove me nuts about the first couple books in the series. I get that he's writing each installment to be its own separate story, which works for the most part, but it gets tiring and I'm glad that seems to be going away or severely reduced.
Having said that, I don't think much more needs to be said. Butcher is really going deep in his world-building, adding more to each installment, while bringing up past characters/races. It's really getting wide and deep and it's exciting to see more and more of this world open up. Again, I realize I'm drinking the kool-aid at 10 books under my belt.
Speaking of which, the Harry Dresden/James Marsters narration combo is just about the best thing known to fiction. I think I really started falling in love with the series when I started the audiobooks around book 6.
4.5 out of 5 Stars (highly super duper recommended)

Apart from Ghost story, I really do think they get better as they go along...

I liked Ghost Story more on a reread, but I agree with Emma. I think White Night was a big turning point for this series.
I've heard some rumblings about Ghost Story, now confirmed by you both, which is next for me since I'm almost done with Turn Coat. Might give it a break for a bit for maximum enjoyment. :)
Changes is between Turn Coat and Ghost Story. It's also the best book of the series so far (imho).If you're going to take a break though, stopping after Turn Coat is what I'd recommend.
