Please mark spoilers. I've finished the book, but other may not have.

So. Peace Talks is out. Our long wait is over. It's been five long years since Harry raided the Underworld and kicked Nicodemus's ass, and the story finally continues.

So, the magical war that has been raging ever since Harry pissed off the Red Court has finally come to a halt. It ain't over yet, but the Fomor of all people have called for a ceasefire so that peace talks can be held.

Harry Dresden, of course, smells danger in the wind. Conspiracies abound. Trouble is brewing.

And, as some of you might know, the book has been split in half, with the sequel Battle Ground coming out in September. With a title like that, you know that the peace talks did not go well.

Non-spoilery observations that might still upset people follow:
This book certainly feels like it was split in half, as it ends on a cliffhanger. It's at a good stopping point, and some of the plots are wrapped up, leaving others to be finished in the next book.

The story takes a while to get going, because half of the stuff being set up isn't going to drop until the next book. Some of it feels rather gratuitous, as if Jim Butcher is just checking up on old characters to remind us that they exist. It almost crowds out the fact that there is going to be a summit to possibly end the war.

I’m still waiting to get my copy, my credit card works fine online but for whatever the reason, I can’t get stuff on Amazon

Even if I pre-ordered this months ago

Not sure I am okay with a book so blatantly cut in half so he can sell another one this year. Felt like Halo when MC arrives at Earth and then the game ends.
