so-soThis is one long battle sequence, hence the name. I found it very boring to read and ended up skimming most of the book.
Originally, Peace Talks and Battle Ground were one book. I would have preferred that. Cut a few bits out and make the narrative tighter and it would have worked. On its own, Battle Ground is a slog.

‘Much the same – no real ill effects at all. We should drink champagne all the time.‘ ‘I remember a timid seventeen-year-old girl who‘d never so much as touched a drop of beer, let alone champagne. And now look at you.‘ ‘You‘ve led me astray,‘ I said. ‘You and your fancy, society ways.‘ ‘I‘m a corrupting influence and no mistake.‘ ‘You‘re an absolute shocker.‘ #christmascozy 🎄
The Murphy thing was very stupid and unnecessary. Harry didn't need more reason to fight. It was cheap.
It's still a well written book but I've not been enjoying this series as much. The last few books were very hard to read and don't have the re-readability of the early books.
