Review

Everything the Light Touches is a short micro-comic in Jim Butcher's Dresden Files that falls between Skin Game and Peace Talks in the series chronology. It's written from Mister, the cat's POV, a first for this series. Mister awakens in the night hungry, only to find his food bowl empty, and the actions that he takes to get fed are humorous. We've never really learned a great deal about Mister throughout the series, so it was nice to get a peek into his life, which very much mirrors that of any ordinary cat. He can be a bit of jerk just like many cats are. Overall, this was a cute, funny story, although at only five pages long, it's not super-involved. But I enjoyed it for what it was and thought the artwork was well done. Everything the Light Touches can be read for free on the author's website.
