The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Anyone else... disappointed? [PT/BG spoilers]
Kindler:
When Peace Talks finally broke, I read it and was immediately disappointed. Battle Ground came out, and I loved it.
My problem with these two books is that neither one felt complete. BG felt rushed, PT felt slow. Neither felt right.
Jim said he wound up writing "four-thirds of one book" on his first draft of PT, and wrote the last third of PT and BG to produce two. It didn't feel like that to me. Scenes like Murphy's death, which were emotional for me, just didn't have the kind of impact I felt like they should have.
To me, it felt like Jim wrote one book, then added some things and cut it somewhere in the middle to turn it into two.
I liked the story, I liked the individual scenes, and BG was one hell of a ride, but there's a disjointed sensation to the whole situation that just felt off.
