A solid Dresden. I disliked the repeated descriptions of Butters during the battle.
I was afraid this would be one of those Dresden-file episodes that is just one tedious action scene after another. It is actually mostly one long action sequence but fortunately I didn't find it terribly boring (most of the time).
Battle Ground felt a bit like Marvel's Infinity War/Endgame where every character that was ever in the series makes an appearance and all are fighting a common super-powerful entity. So many characters make the experience less intense and lacking in sharp focus.
Still, I was more engaged with the battle than I thought I'd be. There were some dramatic moments and twists that were unexpected and well done.
There were also twists/drama that made no sense based on real-life logic or what we know of the characters and therefore were transparently intended to create drama and set up the conflicts for future installments.
Generally, Butcher keeps me hanging on.
