Battle Ground
by Jim Butcher
Seventeen books in, maintaining internal consistency is really starting to pose a problem for the author. Which reflects the really strong cast of characters he has populated this world with, and how good the secondary characters have become, that maintaining their internal story arcs becomes as important to the reader as maintaining Dresden's. There are some frustrating failings in that, here. Peace Talks and Battle Ground are two books that aren't quite two books-- they're more than one, but the arc in Peace Talks isn't resolved adequately in Battle Ground, and the new plots we have to chase in Battle Ground outnumber the few we put to bed.
On the other hand, elements of the stories continue to be genre-best. Putting out the silver for guests? Perfect, and just tossed in at the end as if by accident. Hopefully as the cast is reorienting the organization will be more disciplined.
