Series Spanning Plot Threads
betaflame:
Just a few points I thought might be worth including,
Blood Rites:
-Mavra burns Harry's Hand. (A minor point with almost no long lasting implications beyond forcing Harry to beef up his shield.)
Dead Beat:
-Wizard healing/longevity are introduced.
-Both Evil Bob and Grevane refer to necromancy as "The True Magic". It is different enough from normal magic that it stains the user. Grevane (and Ulsharavas from DM) can sense it in Harry. Harry can sense it in Cowl.
Not sure if any of those are Thread worthy, just a couple observations.

The Hand burn is significant. I've been tossing around how to include it, but the thing is, I have already written up a great reference about Harry's Power Ups, that does a great job of emphasizing the significance of that event... I think I might add a reference to that topic near the top of this reference and let it serve as the reference for any events that touch on Harry's power as a thread in and of itself.
Viktor:
Is there any way I can vote for/request that you remove the individual spoiler tags and just put one big one in the subject line?
I really enjoy this topic, but it's annoying to have to do that every time I check for updates.
(Yes, I'm lazy)
Edit due to too many posts: Got it, Serack, thanks. :)

These spoiler tags do /not/ serve to hide "spoilers."
They serve souly to compress this gargantuan reference into bite size pieces.
Edit: For now, the way this topic is set up, the only thing you would have to worry about actually spoiler tagging for the purpose of hiding spoilers is any information dealing with Cold Days and some of the recent short storys.
I will evaluate weather or not I wish to change the title to accomidate for those later, but it is likely this topic will be LONG TERM, and a year from now the title will have to accomidate for book 15's spoilers... yadayada... I'll finish up to GS for now then worry about spoiler tags

Book #14: Apparently all about the fae, and was almost called Winter Knight.

I had a theory about that:
The way you can play on the words of this title make me think that Jim is messing with us/throwing us some info here.
What I mean by that is: When I think of the word Summer I tend to think of as "hot/warm/bright" etc. Yet Night (phonetically) is typically cooler/dark.
On the opposite end of that: Cold Days - Why? Daytime is usually sunny/warmer, so you associate Day with warmth or at least Sunshine. (Yes, these are broad strokes i'm painting here, I realize that during winter daytime can be freaking freezing in most parts of the world.)
I think this is one of Jims' patented "I'm going say one thing that can be interpreted literally (as in, Cold Days = Servitude/Bad times for Dresden) but is also a way of telling us that things are terribly terribly wrong in the background. Summer AND Winter are behaving outside of their patterns, and this is leading up to Big Bad Things.
