Worst Kick in the Gut Moments in the Series

<< < (2/12) > >>

Paladino:
I think Linda Randal death on S.F and when Harry find Kim dead on F.M too strong moments.

Also Charmicael death on FM, and I find particulary strong, but short, Elaine betrayal on SK, I mean Harry wanted to trusth her so much and she sells him to Aurora outside the Mother cabins.

Molly trial is also one of the strongest moment on the series.

That was the moment that sold me on the DF; it told me this was a series where things had real, serious, no-do-over consequences, for a character who up to that point had looked like a perfectly plausible ongoing cast member.  A couple of the other ones being quoted here are ones I admire, and found very satisfying as a reader, for pretty much the same reason.  (If a series wants me to remain emotionally engaged, there has to be the possibility of serious negative consequences to characters it wants me to care about; if defeat never happens victory is meaningless.)

Quantus:
May of mine have already been mentioned, but:

a lot of the emotional interplay with Susan and Harry in Changes, also how they ended...

Harry describing Elaine to Murphy in SK, and the fact that he burned her up (or believed it anyway)

Ivy in the cage on demonreach

When he broke his back

Also, not really a -kick-in-the-gut moment, but poignant:  Charity calling Harry family in SmF

Shiros death. Mister in dresdens apartment when it's getting burned. Butters getting kidnapped. “I used the knife.
I saved a child.
I won a war.
God forgive me.”

big_bear:
When Marsters read

I used the knife.
I saved the child.
I won the war.
God forgive me.
