Peace Talks (The Dresden Files, #16) by Jim Butcher

No fifth star here, folks. What we’ve got here is a part one of two situation. This is basically the first book in a duology inside the series proper, with Battle Ground being part two. We now know why the surprise second book! And I can’t fully judge this one until I see how (most of) it turns out. Luckily, September 29th isn’t that far away. I had to step away from this one for a bit to try and see what Butcher was going […]

A nice little Dresden Files snack.

I really like these story collections because I don’t have the patience to track them all down in their various anthologies. Extremely convenient, thumbs up. And to top it all off, I really enjoyed all the stories here. There were a couple in the last collection I was a little bored with, or that showed their age, etc. But they were all good here, entertaining and fit well into the larger Dresden Files universe. I especially liked that three of them took place after the […]

Still my fave. I think closely followed by Dead Beat. Anyway, Dresden Re-read complete!

I should have written this review three weeks ago. This will not be long or comprehensive. I’m behind in my reviews, but so close to catching up! (Only two more after this one!) Mostly, whatever I’m about to write will boil down to, “This is still my favorite Dresden Files book and it is so fun.” Warning: free floating spoilers for events in the first fourteen books below. In this book we have: *Harry teaming up with his mortal enemies, the Denariians. *Harry confronting his […]

Second to last stop on the Dresden re-read.

Still like this book a lot, but I didn’t love it quite as much this time around. It is by far the longest book in the series, so maybe that has something to do with it. Also, I did hard copy this time around and not audio, and James Marsters brings so much to his narration, I know that would have influenced my reading of it the first time. So (spoilers for all previous Dresden Files books ahead) Harry is fresh from his death coma, […]

Harry’s long dark night of the soul.

See, this is why we need half stars. This book right here. This is not a five star book for me, but I liked it better than four stars, also, and feel weird rating it the same as other books I’ve rated four stars and enjoyed less. It is a perfect encapsulation of the 4.5 star book. So round up or down? Up or down? It is a terrible decision. Don’t read on if you haven’t read through book twelve. Spoilers ahoy. A little bit […]
