Publisher's Summary

Things are about to get serious for Harry Dresden, Chicago’s only professional wizard, in the next entry in the number-one New York Times best-selling Dresden Files. 

Harry has faced terrible odds before. He has a long history of fighting enemies above his weight class. The Red Court of vampires. The fallen angels of the Order of the Blackened Denarius. The Outsiders. 

But this time it’s different. A being more powerful and dangerous on an order of magnitude beyond what the world has seen in a millennium is coming. And she’s bringing an army. The Last Titan has declared war on the city of Chicago and has come to subjugate humanity, obliterating any who stand in her way. 

Harry’s mission is simple but impossible: Save the city by killing a Titan. And the attempt will change Harry’s life, Chicago, and the mortal world forever.

Never cried from reading a novel before

The only bad thing I have to say about this book: I haven't got anyone to talk about how good it was. I had so many favorite parts and shed many tears through a wide range of emotions.
It's a shame we have to wait for the next installment, but Jim's work is always worth waiting for!

9/10

Worth the wait. Should not be listened to without listening to peace talks immediately beforehand.

As good as Changes.

Now peace talk make more sense. Perfect execution (pun intended). James is amazing as usual in tones and voices, as good and impactfull as changes.

There had better be sequels.

I keep adding shelves to this book. I'd forgotten how much Horror is encompassed in the Urban Fantasy genre.

While it may not be the conclusion of the Dresden Files, it is A conclusion. There are still many loose ends, but some doors have been closed.

This story also deals with the horrors of war. There may be plenty of PTSD for Harry in future instalments, if any exist.

A warning: Read "Peace Talks" and "Battle Ground" together. They are one long novel that has been split into two for publication reasons.

review for Battleground

Another great addition to the Dresden Files. The gripping story and tone was perfectly captured in the narration from James Marsrers

5 Stars Is Not Enough

Absolute brain candy! Jim and James are perhaps the biggest threat my sleep has ever faced. Just one more scene and suddenly it's dawn.
