Just finished this. I.... wow.
Seriously, the fact that this book reveals the truth behind Demonreach and that's one of the *smaller* revelations compared to everything that came up? Changes was a Wham Episode, certainly, but compared to this, I think Butcher gave us Ghost Story just to ramp *down* the Holy Shit Quotient before releasing this one. By the end of Cold Days, a lot of stuff that's been left unspoken or hidden is explained.... and it changes everything
This is a Chekov Salvo, so buckle up and get set.
(And of course, two major Chekov's Guns were armed during the making of this book as well. It remains to be seen how they'll turn out.)

"Oh, silver blade, forged in the depths of the beyond. Heed my summons and purge those who stand in my way. Lay
waste."
