Peace Talks First book that made Dresdenverse feel smaller -Spoilers
JumpyDragon:
I did notice the other day that PT (according to Google Play) is 352 pages, and BG is 432 pages. More meat to the bones. It's tough when books need to be split, especially during the writing process. I'll probably always treat PT and BG as one book due to this in the future.

That is why I waited until not to do my reread of PT so it runs into BG. I still don't buy the reasons for splitting it up though.. I recently bought a 750 page book, it didn't cost anymore than a 350 page book. Actually if you add the prices of the two books together it is going to cost us more than one big one would.
JumpyDragon:
It sucks. Kind of like when Paolini split Brisingr into 2 books and the Inheritance Trilogy became a series. During the splitting of Peace Talks into 2 books, there may have been scenes cut and shelved for future book use. Maybe the publisher told him that writing a book over 500 pages would technically "break" his contract and therefore increase the cost. Who knows... At least we only had to wait 60 days for part 2.

I really don't understand why we had to wait two months for the second book.. Why didn't they just sell them separately at the same time?

In a ComicCon interview this year, Butcher said that the best his publisher could do was 60 days.
