The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Any news on Peace Talks
Bad Alias:
I find pessimism usually leads to expectations being exceeded, so I'm going to go with Jim is floundering and can't figure out how to end the book. It's a disaster and awful.
Dina:
I am moderately pessimist too, but not with Dresden. I trust Jin, even when I like the newer books less than the older ones.
Con:
A part of me is like the longer the book, the more I'll get to read, but another part of me is like finish already! I want to read it now!

I'm the other way around, I think (almost) every new book in the series has improved over the prior ones. Exceptions are Blood Rites, White Night and Ghost Story.

That is a manner of opinion...

That is how I am increasing feeling about the whole series.. Actually I've felt this for some time.. Why? Because as the years go by, Jim gets occupied with more creative projects, like all of us he has a life and that gets more complicated... Result longer stretches between books, with a few unsatisfying crumbs scattered in between... Jim talks about Maggie at school spin offs, he is writing a whole new major series concurrent with the Dresden Files... Result, the books since Changes have seemed rushed, diluted even, sometimes especially the short stories, going through the motions... If Jim is floundering and I pray he isn't, it may because he is trying to stretch it out just a bit too thin, trying to put in six books where one focused one could tell it all.
