Dresden Files drinking game: every time the name "Butters" is followed by "the little guy" in the next sentence, have a sip. Would probably make the story much more enjoyable.
This could have been much nicer if the story was edited better and fitted in one book instead of two. And if it had a more consistent tone. The impact of all those deaths is lost immediately when half a page later we're back to the silly jokes. When the stakes are supposedly that high, they just ruin it.

Essentially Part Two on Peace Talks and it was pretty much all an epic battle finale.
I enjoyed it immensely. Especially the Guns and Roses sequence.
Having devoured it so quickly and given it was so action packed, I am tempted to read it again as I am sure I missed some bits / nuance.
The ending / epilogue was a bit anticlimatic but given what preceded it, not very surprising.
Hopefully No.18 will be out soon.

I didn’t shed tears multiple times during this book and no one can prove otherwise.
With so many people jumping into the book, I thought for sure this was going to be the last book!! I hear it’s not!!!

Yes! This took me a long time to get through only because it’s an audiobook and I have little driving time recently. So much happens! This novel wraps up nearly everything set up in Peace Talks, but also leaves a lot of options for the next book. Write quickly! I’m ready for the next one!
While I do wish there had been less time spent on non-stop chaos and battles, and more time spent on character interactions, this definitely kept me turning pages and it is a fascinating turning point for the series. There's a lot of heavy consequences that Harry will have to deal with in the future. I'm hoping the next book will be a bit slower-paced and allow for some recovery from this, though.
Reading about battles, war, fighting, etc. is really not my thing. And as that was the vast majority of this book, it was a bit of a slog to get through. Combine that with a really upsetting major character death, and I can't really say I enjoyed this one. Still curious to see where things will go from here though, and I did at least appreciate the end of the book.
