First, note that this follows immediately after and depends heavily on its predecessor, Peace Talks. Unlike most The Dresden Files novels, which contain enough re-introduction of people and concepts that one can more or less slip in anywhere and mostly understand what's going on, that might be more difficult with this one. Read Peace Talks (and preferably the series up to this point) first. That said...
Readers of The Dresden Files novels are likely familiar with how each novel's last 50-100 pages tends toward an increasingly intense rollercoaster of progressively of twisty chaos and peril, stubbornly difficult to put aside for pesky little interruptions like sleep.
Nearly all 500+ pages of Battle Ground is like that. 😮
Remember to breathe.
Because, seriously, "no one expects an orbital-drop grizzly."
