![]() ![]() The book’s plot is fairly simple: pretty much everyone who’s anyone in the supernatural world has decided to come to Chicago, in order to hack out a supernatural peace treaty. It leans more on the ‘wizard’ part of ‘wizard detective,’ as most of the later Dresden books do. Peace Talks is a long, long way from the ‘wizard noir’ of stuff like Storm Front. ![]() My enthusiasm for the series has waned over the years, from ‘buy the hardback on day one’ to ‘eh, I’ll get it from the library.’ Even still, I was curious– during the several year gap between Skin Game and Peace Talks, had Jim Butcher matured as a writer? This naturally got everybody’s attention, as it’s been six years since the last ‘proper’ installment, and two years since even a short story anthology. See, back in March (remember March? Ah, we were so young then), Jim Butcher announced not one, but two new Dresden Files books coming out this year, as apparently the book he’d been working on turned out so long they had to chop it in half. ![]() Buuuut, now that I’ve finally finished this recent read, I knew I had to write up something about it. It’s funny, as I’ve actually read a couple of other books since my last review– I just didn’t quite feel up to writing about them. ![]()
