I didn't realise until I was reading this that it was set *after* book #18 in the series (Twelve Months), which I have yet to read as I am waiting for the paperback version.

Which might explain why I was initially a bit confused about certain elements in Harry's world (He has another apprentice now? And a castle?), which - I presume - happen in that entry.

Having said that, once I got past the initial confusion I found myself thoroughly enjoying my return to Harry's Chicago; thoroughly enjoying the more 'low stakes' (well, as low as it gets for Harry, maybe) of the story that I feel was lost in the last couple of full-length novels I read.

"In January 2007, after a particularly difficult shoot (both physically and emotionally), I found myself back in Chicago with some time on my hands. I didn’t want to edit, because I didn’t have the energy to confront the footage. The Gene Siskel Film Center was showing several of Kieślowski’s films, including all of his later work. Every day, I would make my way to the theater in the evening and sit there eating dark chocolate, letting the work pour over me. It was like a religious experience. I came away from that series feeling revitalized. The Double Life of Véronique and Blue were especially breathtaking. Sławomir Idziak’s photography left an indelible impression on me and changed the way I look at light. One year later, I went back to New York to finish that difficult film, and I finally had an outlet for all the good energy Kieślowski had given me."
