Butters *battle grounds*

First, I think it was just a problem of writing a book, spiting it in two, rewriting for make each book more independent. It lost some of the organic sense most JB books have. Second, I found PT quite messy and somehow difficult to read, while I enjoyed BG (except for the constant fear of losing characters. Something like watching GoT knowing that some character you love could die every minute. So I am looking forward for a rereading. I think I will have more fun and enjoy it even better)

I agree, I like Battle Ground, however I found that Peace Talks was a bit of a bore. Yes, stuff happened in it that were important later in Battle Ground, but it never seemed to quite come together. Maybe because so much of it was invested in the rescue of Thomas?
Dina:
Yes, Mira. Anyway I think my main problem with PT were the first chapters, that seemed disjointed. Like, "we are going to introduce all the characters and the problem", but not organically throwing it all together without order.
And I agree with your other post. Butters is very brave because he overcomes his fear to do what is right.
Telynn:
The problem, in my opinion, with PT is it is only half a book. Both books improve upon viewing them as a whole. And as others have stated, cut out some stuff that might not be important and it could have easily been one book.

It is better on the second read, I think it tried to go in too many directions at once, so we never got Harry searching for answers. That is what was disappointing, no search for answers and no answers.

LOL seems like my reply to Dina easily applies here as well. All adds to the spice of life :)
