It's a conspiracy orchestrated by Amazon and the USPS.

I got peace talks at 1ish on Thursday. I finished it last night at 11pm. Good book and as always, cliffhanger. The next book is going be knightoffire levels of action packed.

the reason why this one was more of a cliffhanger than the others, and didn't actually have a fucking resolution of any kind, is because it was split into two books.

that's why battle ground is releasing in two months.

It would have been a lot to resolve in a single book that was 50% longer.

I'm ok it's 2 books. One idea became other.

Minor spoilers
I been feeling open war was inevitable.

I just need to contain my excitement. Maybe it'll awaken more power.

Sounds like a money grubbing plan.

Amazon sold me my hardcopy for $10 less than the jacketed price (the price listed on the paper jacket that hard covers are sold with). That's very ungrubbing like.

the alternative was spending $50+ for a single book

Butcher explained that initially, he wanted to experiment with his next book. I started writing a novel that essentially was going to be about 2/3 of a Dresden Files novel like everyone was used to that took this sudden hard juke to one side and was then the rest of the novel.
That proved to be troublesome: The next part of the book grew considerably, and basically we had this novel that was 4/3rds when I sort of got finished, and that was this Frankensteinian thing.
I tried for the longest time to make it work, 2-3 years, and my editor said well, we can publish it like this, and if we do, itll be a $50 cover price or more. I didnt want to be the first guy that had hardbacks go up over [that price point].
The other option that he was given was to split the manuscript into two, and publish them year after year. Butcher notes that he wasnt a fan of that option either.
I had to sit down and think about it, and I didnt like either of those, finally I thought I have two thirds of one book, and two thirds of another, if I can write the other thirds of both books, it should turn out okay.
He ended up writing up the extra parts and made a stipulation: Both books had to come out in the same year.

I bought the book pre-release. Lol. What the publisher wanted vs the writers desire vs Amazon's bottom line = 30% off for consumers...so grubby. Yes, Butcher agreed to # of sales vs. margin. I'm actually close friend's with a published writer.

Well I will buy the books eventually and listen to the audiobook but I want to re-listen to the entire story before I hit the new book.
