Re: Events of Skin Game leading into Peace Talks
Bonnie aka Lil' Lash becoming involved in Dresden's conflicts would likely not sit well with me. Don't make your children into soldiers, Harry. Let them be children.
Also Lea has to know about Bonnie by now, but don't let her babysit please
I've always done the whole series the last couple times. Wondering if I maybe skip #2 though, as long as you know "the Alphas are introduced" I'm not sure anything else matters...
I have a feeling you could start with Grave Peril and not miss anything assuming you've read them before.

You learn that someone is empowering amatuer sorcerors. That kind of sets up the Black Circle reveal, but I don't think you need to actually read the whole thing.

The Alphas are a gang of werewolves that Harry thinks are behind the Loup-garou attacks at first, but then befriends, right?

Even when I had it in my head for like eight years that I shouldn't reread/rewatch things because it was a waste of my time (in part because I spent middle school and high school rereading the same 40 or so Mercedes Lackey, Anne McCaffrey, and David Eddings books I had physical copies of, one per day or two), I still made a habit of rereading Dresden all the way through for each new book.
Is the Christmas Eve story out somewhere such that I can dl it and read on my Kindle?
It's linked on Drive from Jim's site here. It is like 8 pages. There are ways to get that on your kindle but they'll all take longer than it would to just read. (D/L, save as txt or rtf or whatever and then find your kindle's email and send it there.)
Edit: Huh, kindles will apparently read .doc and .docx files. I wonder how well.
Alright sorry everyone, I need social isolation to go into September/October now. It's the only way I'll have time for both this and Cyberpunk in September.
I guess that info is a spoiler, but it's not story related at all so not sure it is either, but suppose I'll go with the crowd (non-story spoiler ahoy)
Let's hope the books just aren't the shortest ones yet to pull off 2 in one year. Doesn't seem likely, but worse things have happened.
Pretty awesome news, though. Maybe he'll pick up speed again.

Word on the subreddit is that Peace Talks was up to 400k 225k words* in the beta readers version
before the split, which would make both of the resultant books potentially longer than any of the preceding books around the length of book 3, Summer Knight. Not sure how much might have been added after the split.

Heck given the Short Story we got for Christmas we know quite a few of our favorites survive

See the previous holders to see how guaranteed that is...
I am going to confidently predict that neither of the known exceptions come up.
But more realistically, that wouldn't make sense from the standpoint of dramatic tension.

I'm a little worried
I hope I am wrong.
It's called "Peace Talks", I mean, that has to be a positive, peaceful event where nothing can go wrong, right and everything works out for the best.
Rereads the Christmas short story.
Oh... yeah, no.
It's just gonna be a lot of peace, and a lot of talking. RTFM, folks.
Just because you don't age does not mean you can't get killed.

Faster than re-reading the whole novel, anyway.
I haven't re-read a single one, and if I feel the need to be refreshed about past events in the series I look over a wiki.
GIVE IT TO ME!
Hmm if I start my reread of the entire series around Easter, I should be good to go by then.

Hope this thing sells trillions and we get another (bigger budget) TV show. Seems unlikely, but I live in hope.
"Another" TV show implies that a previous attempt existed, and I'm not sure I'm willing to recognize that as a thing yet.
It'd be nice if it got released right now cause of this whole quarantine.

HOWEVER, I bring glad tidings in this time of shit.
Nope!
Awesome.

There's also a Question and Answer session, available in video form but also helpfully transcribed here: https://www.reddit.com/r/dresdenfiles/comments/fo859p/comment/flfthja

That seems like a reasonable explanation.
That video was pretty oof, other than the late reveal.
