Is it worth the wait? I enjoyed my read, though. It may seem strange to call a neo-noir fantasy a “beach read” but I’ll probably read the next one sunning myself on Montrose Beach (if it ever reopens).Finally, to address the elephant in the room: my fiancé believed that I would “hate” But in my personal reading, that simply didn’t manifest in Update: A previous version of this review erroneously stated that Ebenezer was Harry’s father, when in fact he is his grandfather.90% of this book was Harry’s meandering philosophical musings about every subject you could possibly imagine. McCoy sees that Harry does good and makes a difference in the world, but he believes that his grandson is losing his way, potentially his soul.Marcone hosts the peace negotiations with the Accorded Nations and the Fomor. I’m actually surprised he didn’t give us several pages about how your shoes take you on your life journey etc….it was that bad. Up to and including the same big TRICK!Huh, really interesting review. ^_^ Especially because we’re getting TWO Dresden novels this year (Battle Ground is currently slated for release September 29th!). Harry is typical Harry, though he has grown over the years, and much of the book deals with his relationships with those around him. I expected a finished novel after a 6 year wait… What we received is (hopefully) a 340 page introduction to a real Dresden book.You talked about being dragged to a star wars movie. Considering this instalment follows the best book in the series by far and a seriously long break, there were a lot of expectations to live up to. Harry summons magical beings using Dr. Pepper and ring pops, and banishes extraterrestrials with gasoline and dinosaur noises.
Totally worth the wait! That’s a friend helping another using his faith as an anchor. I think perhaps this articles author does not know what he is writing about, not really. Butcher’s been both praised and admonished for his out-of-towner’s grasp ofNeedless to say, I was eager to see what all the fuss was about.Butcher keeps the tone light and the fantasy intentionally kitschy; he expects the reader to take his world exactly as seriously as the characters do, which is not very.
Read the rest of the books sir, and you will see how much better this one might have been.I agree with Robotcandy. After launching the In science fiction and fantasy circles, Dresden is a household name, with Jim Butcher often cited as the standard bearer for commercially successful urban fantasy.
The women are all super sexy; Harry is overpowered.
But great review to a great book. I’m sure I’m not the only one there either. That is appropriate given that the fight between Dresden and his grandfather looked a lot like the fight between Like and his former student/nephew.
Peace Talks is a satisfying, Chicago-themed romp for old and new Butcher fans alike. I’m ready right now for Battle Ground, but this is a review of Peace Talks. In the course of the series, she goes through the wringer, and This is a Dresden Files book; so, the usual criticisms apply. This and his natural personality have let him question their methods and learned of better ways to accomplish his goals. Suffice to say Butcher’s pretty well proven with his other works (Including short stories from this series from the PoV of characters other then Harry) that this is not an issue with his writing, but rather a deliberate character trait of Dresden himself. It’s going to be one, hard, ride. All our favorites, who have signed Mab’s Accords, are there. When I first told my fiancé I was about to review the newest Colorado-based author Jim Butcher has somewhat of a cult following, attracting avid fans and vocal detractors. I would love a book from another perspective that dug more into the operations of the players at negotiation. I heartily encourage fans to read this, but my personal opinion is maybe wait till Battle Ground is released, and pick up both and read them one after the other. Your view does still rather fit though, as most of the stuff McCoy hates them for were things done by Lara and Thomas’ father, but McCoy can’t see any White as any different then the worst one he’s dealt with.As to the whole ‘male gaze’ thing you were worried about going in… not even going to try and deal with that in any larger scale.
He’s a quintessential Harrison-Ford-style protagonist: a shameless flirt with more balls than brains, a crippling lack of diplomatic finesse, and a penchant for blowing things up. My review of Peace Talks, the latest entry into the Dresden Files by Jim Butcher. Michael is one of my favorite characters.And totally agree with the male gaze thing. Harry, Harry is truly a grey wizard. After a 6 year hiatus I really expected a better effort. Other readers document a conflicted relationship with the books, and Butcher’s overall style. Idk. He takes personal responsibility for every bad thing that happens to everyone around him.
