My thought was, the books PT and BG could have been kept as one with the battle shorter. ;)
But not less intense. Sometimes I had the feeling, Jim Butcher lost himself a bit in describing the battle scenes.
Don't get me wrong. He wrote them in an excellent way and I enjoyed reading them. But sometimes less is more. I would have wished more emphasis on the storyline.
And I would have wished(click to show/hide)
But all in all I liked it.
A longer battle would not have made sense. This would have meant less fighting, more siege situations. I.e. less action.
It was OK. I'm looking forward to the next book, but I expect something like Ghost Story after Changes. Something almost completely off, so that Harry has to learn something new.
Maybe we won't even see the, if it even comes to that. But I think it does. I try to imagine now how Harry's and Maggie's lives will change because of that. And how they will deal with it.(click to show/hide)
PS: and I would love to read about Harry accompanying Lara to the mentioned political events. Whatever made Mab say that???? Does she really believe he might be a help for Lara being diplomatic???? Oh dear. This must be funny to read. Oh, please write that. LOL
PPS: maybe she wants Lara to teach him diplomacy.
. Well, Mirror Mirror is supposedly next. So, your guess about a Ghost Story situation being next makes a lot of sense. I'll bet you five imaginary dollars Harry disappears just before the wedding. I can't imagine any other situation that would complicate things as much, unless someone comes along for the ride.I would bet with you, not against. ;)
Heh. I don't actually want Harry to get out of it. Because the insane number of shenanigans that could spring up for Harry Dresden, Winter Knight, Wizard of Chicago, and Husband of the White Queen (because honestly, at this point, it's an open secret that she's in charge and not her dad) due to the marriage are too glorious to imagine. :PThe only ones who do not know are in the white council :)
The only ones who do not know are in the white council :)I'm not sure if that's accurate. I seem to recall Luccio make a comment to Lara about the White King obviously still being in charge...

Yes, Eb with the White Vampires is the magical equivalent of thisYou forgot the Water Closet. The only WC everyone knows.

Also, why is Harry involved with so many WC? (White Council, White Court of vampires, Winter Court) :P
I bet to myself that someone would make a joke about that ;D ;D ;DIrresistible.
