Stormi and I keep moving along on our buddy read of the Dresden Files series and the end is almost in sight! The newest installment, number 18, recently released so that means two more book and we are current and up to date. So read on for my thoughts and then hop over to Stormi's to see hers.
TITLE: Peace Talks (Dresden Files #16)
AUTHOR: Jim Butcher
PUBLISHER: Ace
PUBLISHING DATE: July 14, 2020
PAGES: 340

FROM GOODREADS: When the Supernatural nations of the world meet up to negotiate an end to ongoing hostilities, Harry Dresden, Chicago's only professional wizard, joins the White Council's security team to make sure the talks stay civil. But can he succeed, when dark political manipulations threaten the very existence of Chicago—and all he holds dear?
A Supernatural summit is taking place in order to try to garner some kind of peace among all the entities and once again, Harry finds himself in the thick of things. Because of his role as Mab's right-hand man, the White Council is becoming more distrustful of him. Since this is book 16 and everything is considered a spoiler, I'll just say we get to see quite a few familiar faces including Molly, Thomas, Maggie, Mouse, Ebenezer and Butters.
There were quite a few things that made me unhappy in this book, especially pertaining to Thomas, but it didn't mean I didn't enjoy it. I just question a few directions the author is headed toward but hey, he's the boss, right?
Overall, I'm glad to have gotten this far and Stormi has warned me the next book is really going to tick me off. I am struggling between a 4/5 or a 5/5 but my rating is reflective of my appreciativeness for a short installment this time around.
MY RATING: 5 Paws
