Our view
“Peace Talks” is a Dresden Files novel for readers who already have fifteen behind them, and it makes no attempt to be anything else. The familiar cast, the wisecracks and the supernatural politics are all present as the factions sit down to negotiate. Some readers find it crowded with characters and plot lines and short on resolution, ending with much left open.
