The Dresden Files > GS Book Club
Ghost Story Book Club - Chapters 46-FINISH **MAJOR SPOILERS**
Brandoch Daha:
Finished GS at noon today.
I had posted a while ago that I was unhappy with the ending of Changes and considered it the last true DF book.
I stand corrected.
Jim did an outstanding job with GS.
And managed to wrap up and include most the major players in the game.
Jeezus, I had tears in my eyes in the scene with Mouse in Maggie's room at the end.
I really enjoy the spiritual side that Jim has worked in to the DF books. A lot of people would cast an evil eye towards any book on witchcraft, even LOTR gets a bad rep from some idiots that think it's anti-religion when that's really all it is...good vs. evil and Good wins out at the end. The ride along is entertaining and gives us something to discuss and enjoy. Butcher looks favorable on the Catholic church even with all it's failings, they are human after all, and no different than any other institution, religious or otherwise.
Mab is in for a rough time with her Winter Knight and Harry will find ways to use his free will to affect those good and bad guys in Sweet Home Chicago.

Somebody suddenly started cutting a lot of onions near me towards the end of the book.
And then the final final part, it's like..well, I kind of knew it'd have to happen, but the two doing it did surprise me a little.
ichthyology1:
I liked the way this book ended, it made me think a lot about actions and consequences which I think was Uriel's point. Although there was some "inappropriate influencing" which allows Harry to come back and find his killer. Harry really begins to think through his actions and the decisions he has made and what the subsequent consequences were - beyond how those actions impacted him personally....Harry was willing to cross the line to get the help he needed but was unwilling to pay the price. I did not figure out that Harry coordinated his own shooting, but it made sense that Kincaid was the one who did it. I am really looking forward to the next book. The Dresden Files is one of my favorite reads. I can hardly wait to see how everyone reacts when Harry comes back as Winter's Knight. This will be good.
EntertainUs:
Ok, so I don't mean to be the blonde dummy here but did we ever find out exactly who the woman was at the end of Changes? Are we assuming it was Mab? I can't seem to be able to find a specific answer (and my talent with the search box ends when I clear the word "Search...") and I didn't want to write a whole new topic if everyone has discussed it somewhere else.

No we didn't find out whose voice it was. There have been topics about it. I'll see if I can find one.
