Peace Talks by Jim Butcher

Peace Talks

2/5. Dresden Files book whatever. Yeah so like, it's been several years since there was a new book, and somewhere in that time, queer content in speculative fiction became so mainstream that even Jim Butcher noticed, and he was like oh yeah I can do that, and then he did the straightest, male gaziest, wash-your-brain-outest version of queer content possible. The sort that is 100% geeky guys having or thinking about having threesomes with two women.

Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play? I mean, the extended world building continues to be great, but Harry Dresden's dick and his feelings thereon did so many gross things in this book, it's hard to think about anything else.

P.s., for anyone who actually cares, this is the first half of a book and ends on a cliffhanger. So wait until September to read this and the next one, if that's gonna bug you.

As someone who owns the entire series to date, many of them in hardback, but has not reread or even thought much about the series for years...

I am considering just writing this off as not worth my time any more. And wow it would free up so much shelf space.

Would I regret it?

Would I regret it?

Doubt it. I am sort of? invested in the overarching plot, but push come to shove I may be equally satisfied by reading a synopsis when it's all said and done.

I was debating a train-wreck read but I think I will continue to believe it doesn't exist.

Thanks for the cliffhanger warning. I will wait until Battle Ground comes out to decide if it's worth continuing.

(I did not preorder this one because I had my doubts. Library copy will suffice.)
