exactly my issue with this as well. it certainly could be explained by Nemesis (not a spoiler, as this was never even approached in this book), but it doesn't feel that way

And the recycling of interactions and conversations from previous books

This is something he has done throughout all of his books. It's necessary, because it's expecting a lot for people to remember everything from previous reads, especially given we are on book 16 and soon 17 along with a handfull of external short stories.

I just "reread" all of the series via audiobooks, so I came into this with a fresh knowledge base. Prior to this I needed those memory nuggets in the books.

I have a couple hours of the Peace Talks audio left. It's my first time listening to a dresden audio. I don't hate it, but I am now convinced that switching to audio at book 16 is not the brightest idea.

Don't want to give an opinion on the book until I finish.

There is a massive difference between what he's done in previous books, which was a necessary recap, and this book, where he recycled almost entire conversations and themes for half the book.

I'm hoping nemesis is involved in certain characters actions as well, cause otherwise their actions are pretty nonsensical.
