Dresden Files is my favourite book series of all time . It's my go to book when I am feeling down or I am stagnant while reading , or if i want change . Naturally I get a little biased when a Dresden book comes out , but all bias aside , I was massively dissatisfied with the previous book . But having read this i have actually changed my view on the prior book and in fact increased its rating </p>

There's a lot that I liked in this book, in simple terms , this can very much be described as a single long battle scene ... but thats like saying Infinity wars was just action and no pay off. Yes, Battle Ground is indeed a long battle sequence ,however that's not necessarily a bad thing . The action is brilliantly portrayed and involves nearly all the previously mentioned side characters in the whole series. In between There's a lot of surprises from characters dying , to Characters turning into unlikable or likeable . </p>

Theres a lot that happens in this book , but the book mainly relies on your investment on the established characters and the clever and fast paced action that really entertains but never becomes repetitive or dull </p>

This would be mostly nit-picking but some of the surprises were too telegraphed and you could see them coming from a mile (it still managed to get the reaction the author intended but it was predictable) . There were also some very clichéd plot points such as the whole "star born" thing . </p>

This is definitely my favorite book in Dresden files , but thats what I always Say about the most recent installment of Dresden files books. This is however the best book I have read this year , of course this can't be read as a standalone and even as a single Dresden book it feels incomplete without reading Peace Talks , which was a poor read at first but having read this book , peace talks elevates a notch . Overall , its an awesome book, recommended for all Dresden files readers and those who haven't read it , please read the whole series to get to this point of the series </p>
