The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
When did LtW join the White Council?

I mean one of my biggest systemic problems with Dresden Files is fact that Dresden does not seems to be doing much of research overall.
Those books are spread about year apart, with each he gets more and more very warning signs that shit is about to get really bad, but he does not seems to pursue leads, and he should really go for them at least since Blood Rites.

Yup, that was the main complaint some of us had about Peace Talks. It was also one of the things that set the Dresden Files apart and why many of us fell in love with the series.

Well yes I agree - fast tempo, and urgency are hallmarks of this series, even in it's slowest moments really.
But I think that could be done - without changing it.
We leave Dresden in one moment, and then in next books he connected some dots, make some active move until another catastrophe breaks loose in his life.
Sort of like - whole Kravnos case is said in retrospect. Or like Little Chicago - just made you know about something connected to the plot.
So I was like bit annoyed when Dresden after fight with Drakul's was all mouthy towards Listen to Winds, and he said "that I have to connect all dots on my own" or something like that. Like, dude - you did jackshit for all this years to connect all those dots, unless someone forced you :P

True, to a certain degree, but it is hard to connect dots that you have no access to, or know about. There has been a major conspiracy from the get go to keep Harry in the dark about a lot of things by the powers to be. Though Harry is good at it, one can only slam one's head against that wall for so long, the resulting headache eventually force him to look for other options.

Fandom connected many dots - while having only access to Dresden's internal monologue. And we are like nerdy noobs not Wizards of White Council.
And it's not even than he had not managed to find much - it's like - we don't see him even trying, not being pro-active at all.
