Peace Talks is one of the weakest Dresden books, padded with fluff and filler, and ends abruptly in what amounts to a cliffhanger. And not even an interesting one. The story basically just stops, like it's the end of a paragraph. I had to rewind to make sure I hadn't missed something. Not good.

Based on Butcher being a pretty damn good guy, I'd guess the blame is on the publisher. I think he turned in a pretty damn long book, and they said nope. After that long, we need more than just one long book and split it up.
The book does get much better, right before it abruptly ends.
Thank God Battle Grounds is nigh.
