Apparently the story he wanted to tell was "too big," so they split it beetnemesis Send a noteboard - 05/08/2020 02:41:28 PM

Which... I mean, we were all WoT fans, so I have very little sympathy, here. I would totally read an 800-page Dresden book, no questions asked.

It actually really annoyed me. The whole thing is setup.

One thing that bugged me- apparently Harry's going to be attacked politically, get thrown out of the White Council? And they're going to do it by saying he's not really a wizard, due to how he joined, or something?

Wasn't that the exact plot of Summer Knight? Dresden does a favor for the Council to "prove" that he's a wizard, since some people are saying he should be thrown out due to how he joined.


The rest of it was OK- there are some good bits. The "we don't fully trust Harry, maybe he's evil" thing is so old at this point.


I just... I wanted more of the actual Peace Talks! There was almost NONE of that, and it turns out they were a sham, anyway! Ugh.


Also, Justine is totally Nfected. Thomas muttering "Justine..." the whole time makes a lot more sense in that context.





Butcher gets a pass, this one time, because I really enjoy Dresden, and I think I've heard his life has been a bit chaotic the last 5 years? Makes writing a bit tough.

But if you're selling me a 30 dollar book (GODDAMMIT Wal-Mart has it for 17!?), it had damn well better be a full book!

I amuse myself.

Not a flattering one aerocontrols - 25/07/2020 06:12:37 PM 320 Views
Okay, you’ve convinced me. Most of Butcher’s female characters are gorgeous. Not all. *NM* damookster - 26/07/2020 03:52:08 AM 196 Views

Not grouchy at all. Acknowledging your argument was better than mine. *NM* damookster - 27/07/2020 01:15:49 AM 178 Views
