The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Peace talks, battle ground, blackstaff spoilers
Grifter:
I don't think she'd take it back until the Apocalypse.
But I just had a thought. We said in another thread that it'd be cool if the Council voted to keep Harry, which would be big for him. He'd feel wanted and valued and appreciated.
But what if instead, Eb does die, and gives Harry the Blackstaff. Then he finds out that the Council voted him out, but they have to keep him against their own wishes or risk losing the staff.
Second Aristh:
If Granny Winter being active again was necessary in the BAT, it neatly solves the dilemma of not having an obvious successor to Eb. Like Grifter said, I don't think it would happen until the BAT, though.

That'd be ackward for the Senior Council because I'm pretty sure the office and actual staff aren't common knowledge among members of the Council. Harry still doesn't know what it is.

But, you sparked a thought in my head(that poor, tired, fat hamster...). Black Staff. Two words. The same number of letters. Does anyone think this might be a future book title?

I don't think the double meaning of black staff will play too well these days. Speaking of double meaning, what's the double meaning of peace talks. There's the obvious talks that happen. What's the other meaning? The "talks" between Harry and Eb, Harry and Lara, or maybe Molly and her parents (because those were supposed to happen when it was all one book)?
Yuillegan:
I think the answer is the word play. Peace Talks was always meant to be the most violent book to date, and I think the double meaning could be that the Talks are in Pieces (shattered by the machinations of the Black Council etc).
The obvious answer is merely that at the Peace Talks nothing of the sort happened, but I like mine better.

Agreed, I was hoping for the politics behind the Talks, and why suddenly everyone was out for Harry. I think the book would have been better served if we had more about that and less about the attempt to spring Thomas.. Or at least Harry getting a handle on the why of it. As I said there were a few chapters that were written very well, the one where Marcone sounds more like Harry. I find it odd that the gouls were signers of the Accords, when ever they have shown up in the stories, it has been on the other side. When did that happen?
