Just finished the book last night--got it Saturday and tried to savor it a bit. Before I read everyone else's post, I just want to say---wow!!!! This was awesome and so worth the wait!!! Thank you, Jim, for such an amazing story!

Admittedly, Harry can't eat/drink but I wonder if Mac would have reacted/sensed/known about Harry's presence, which would have given us some clue about who/what Mac is.

I agree. I miss Mac, but I can understand putting Harry in the pub as a ghost would not have followed well in the story. Still, I'd love to know who/what Mac really is---I keep thinking he's something much more than he appears. Maybe next book.....

BAT actually.
And what happened when Bob and Evil Bob threw down? I wanted to see the results of that fight.

Even leaving apart the age difference, the sheer inappropriateness of a romance between a wizard and his apprentice, and the Doom of Damocles, you'd think even Harry would know better than to risk being torn limb from limb by the only dark power that even he fears. I refer, of course, to Molly's mother, Charity. And Michael would let her do it.

LOL!!!! And even if Molly and Harry far outline Charity, I think she could break every rule of death/ghosts/the afterlife to make Harry's life miserable if he hooked up with Molly :)
Thank you for that image and that laugh!

I enjoyed this book of the DF but as some others have mentioned it all seems a bit downer. The way I would describe it is that it is like traveling to the old communist block in Europe. Life seems normal, but there is always something hanging over your head.
That said, I enjoyed the story. I especially like Molly coming into her own. Harry always needs to make a mistake to gain wisdom, (the Lecter Specters), and manages to squeek through at the end. Among Pilots there is an old saying: You need to fill the bag of experience BEFORE the bag of luck is empty! I hope Jim won't go totally spider-man on us and NEVER allow Harry enjoyment. There needs to be some release for him. It isn't impossible to have a happy ending occasionally. Murphy needs a vacation, it was had to read some of her parts. That also means that Jim did an excellent job of drawing you into the characters. Lastly since almost the entire book was set up for the next episode we DON'T WANT TO WAIT A YEAR FOR THE NEXT ONE!
