We thank brother Quantus for his extreme diligence in his ceaseless drive to enlighten the rest of us unwashed masses. Truly he is of the few blessed chosen. ;)
There is no god but Jim Butcher and Priscellie is his prophet.

In Glorious Paradox.
I read a bit in a Brandon Sanderson novel recently where a living God didnt believe in himself or the system, and commented on the dogmatic paradox of Him trying and failing to corrupt his own High Priest. It was pretty awesome.

--- Quote ---That's not really an inconsistency. Faeries are pretty fast in general, and Lea had Maggie Sr.'s NN notes. Lea has the stamina to not worry much about whatever NN environment she's going into next, so no slowing down there. Not to mention whatever option Odin came up with post-Chichen Itza is probably available to her in a pinch. Shadowing Harry shouldn't be all that difficult for Lea. Basically, "close" is relative to the ability to travel quickly.

1. Showing up in 5 minutes no matter WHERE he was in the NN takes more than knowing the ways. (GP)
2. She had to bargain with Odin to get the insta-gate (Changes).
3. All the beings chasing Harry from AT could not catch Harry and Team (PG).
So we have to reconcile all the places that Harry went in GP and say they are very near her garden in the NN - which makes no sense as Agatha Hagglethorn lived in her own pocket dimension.

Says who? I can't see Lea being any slower than Thomas, and he can go fast enough that you wouldn't see him take down someone as per "It's My Birthday, Too". Plus in Changes, she was keeping up with all the doggies as herself with absolutely no trouble. Add to that that Chicago is a major nexus of Ways, so odds are that wherever Lea was would probably have a quick path to get to Chicago anyway.
She bargained, but there's no proof that she had to bargain to get the gate going. It's just as plausible that she wanted to save her strength for fighting. Even if she was unable to do it alone, Lea could have always bargained back then to get another gate if the need arose.
The faeries running back to Arctis Tor had to fight Maeve's time dilation, and they lacked Maggie Sr.'s notes full of shortcuts. It's not comparable.
So, still not an inconsistency.
namkcas:
Lea can be faster than Thomas... It took longer than 5 minutes to get to CI from Chicago even at a run once they got to the jungle in Mexico and that doesn't count the rest of the trip.
