HARRY DRESDEN IS BACK AND READY FOR ACTION, in the new entry in the #1 New York Times bestselling Dresden Files.

When the Supernatural nations of the world meet up to negotiate an end to ongoing hostilities, Harry Dresden, Chicago's only professional wizard, joins the White Council's security team to make sure the talks stay civil. But can he succeed, when dark political manipulations threaten the very existence of Chicago—and all he holds dear?

  • Peace Talks is a great book

    My only downside was it felt too short when it first came out. It makes sense however because it was a split book. Definitely worth the money and I bought the next one immediately.

  • Grab that cash?

    Finally broke down and read it after a friend got it at release and told me it was terrible. Kind of worried about getting battle grounds if releasing irrelevant half books is the standard now. Its kinda embarrassing, gonna assume it was the publishers fault.

  • Good read

    As with all Jim Butcher books, Peace Talk delivered on adrenaline, characters and gritty realism. This is the first time The Dresden Files had ever left a major cliffhanger and only leaves the reader wanting more

    This is the first Dresden book I’ve had to make myself read. I’m pretty sure half the book was Dresden’s personal narrative cribbed from all the previous books. No interesting story development except for setting up the next book. This was an obvious ploy to add filler to a story so it could be sold as two books. Skip this one and proceed right to the next one.

    An excellent build up to the next book, I’m glad I waited to read it until Battle Ground was released.

  • Harry grow up

    First off yes, this should be combined with the upcoming book, this was either a cash grab or his publisher demanded he release something. It feels incomplete. At this point though Dresden fans are so far in they are just going to buy what ever has Dresden name slapped on it. No one here is new. Second, I have been with Harry since the beginning and honestly his character development seems stalled. Jim Butcher is still writing like over hormoned 20 year old instead of having Harry mature as he gets older. 1/4 of this book sees Harry noticing how over sexy each woman is. Harry has lost his edge for strategy and now just shows up places. Third, Jim seems to be parking characters because he can’t move on with their development, ala Thomas and Murphy. Jim has been going through allot in his personal life and it is reflected in his work. He planned for Dresden to only be so many books, and now it seems like he either can’t land the plane or wants to draw it out. Stop releasing over exaggerated short stories and focus on the quality and wrap it up. I will buy the next book, but if it stinks like this I’m done. I can give Harry a better ending in my imagination then this.

  • Good read, where’s the rest?

    I’m a huge fan of the Harry Dresden books. That being said, where’s the rest of this one? I didn’t pay $15 for half a book...
