So good news and bad news. I'll start with the bad.
Peace Talks released on Tuesday, the long awaited continuation of The Dresden Files. And now we know why the next book is coming out so soon (September): Peace Talks is half a book. I don't know if Butcher or the Publisher is to blame, but my advice to anyone interested is to wait until Battle Grounds releases and read them both. 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.
On the flip side of the coin, this week Amazon released an Audible full cast recording of Neil Gaiman's Sandman.
I'm a few hours in and it's just fantastic. The cast is ****ing loaded with big names, and it's (so far) one of the best things I've heard on Audible, right up there with the full cast recording of Dune. It's basically an old school radio play and I can't recommend it strongly enough.
Go listen to it. Right now.
