Questions for Jim 2012 style 2
cass:
Huh. Some of the discussion on the thread pertaining to the sample chapters from Cold Days just pinged my brain: what the heck counts as a day in the NN? They clearly have ways of keeping track of time in the mortal world-- the transfer of the table is sufficient proof of that--but time is fluid in the NN, so what sets its passage?
The NN overlays/is tangent to the mortal world in some pretty convoluted, non-constant ways: a meter's difference in either world could connect to a point many, many kilometers distance away. In this context, what sets the position of the sun and stars (and, I suppose, Moon) in the sky of the NN?
If the stars are somehow inconstant, is navigation in an absolute sense even possible, or is it landmark-to-landmark?
....Bleh. Not exactly plot-important, but an interesting point.

Will we see Justin outside of flashbacks in this series?

That ... seems unlikely, as he's dead, or supposed to be dead - enough so that the Warden's and White Council came down on Harry for a First Law Violation for it.

He can be dead and still show up in the current time. Several others have, such as harry, harry's dad, (arguably) harry's mom, the Corpsetaker and various ghosts, Murphy's dad, Carmichael, ...
And thats not even thinking about this rumored Mirror Mirror alternate timeline thing.

I know that, I just want to shoot down the hopes everyone who thinks Justin will appear outside of flashbacks.
