DF Spoilers / Re: Peace Talks First book that made Dresdenverse feel smaller -Spoilers
« on: August 23, 2020, 03:15:24 PM »Every book in the series so far helped expand the world building, at times in small ways. New antagonists; new knowledge; added characters all helped grow the Dresdenverse. Peace Talks in my mind is the first book in the entire series that bent that trajectory. I’m speaking of the Accords meeting. The Accords are supposed to be something that spans the entire supernatural world. But who do we see at chez Marcone’s? The same cast of characters we’ve always seen. That’s it? A half dozen or so powers? Where’s everyone else?I don't think it is deeply flawed. It is not yet finished and JB made no secret of the fact that he basically splitted one book in two. So I would wait with condemning the whole book. We don't have all the information yet.
Peace talks is a deeply flawed novel...perhaps the worst in the series so far. A lot can be forgiven. But I’m not sure I can overlook taking an axe to the world building that’s been done up to now.
And I would say, that I enjoyed reading the book.
