That is interesting. Maybe she got to inspect and examine the Athame some time prior to her receiving it as a public gift. That could explain her re-invested interest in Harry.

She has been working with Harry for a while now, has seen the supernatural up close and personal (Toad Demon and werewolves) and still chooses to ignore Harry's warnings about the vampires. That tainted her character for me. Her overall series arc was still emotional for me, but only from Harrys point of view not for her sake (if that makes sense).

I agree. And I had more or less "reconciled" with her by the time Changes was released. And then I never could forget her for keeping Maggie a secret from Harry.

--- Quote from: Kindler on November 30, 2017, 07:28:09 PM ---That's really interesting. Any particular actions? Her particular malice toward Dresden, that's later pretty much gone entirely after Small Favor, does seem pretty out of place. It's handwaved when she says she was trying to protect him, or that she was showing him tough love, or that she's a changeable Fae and can do what she wants (pretty much variably at later points in the series), but it still sticks out pretty far to me.

Which makes me think that she was trying all along to resist the infection..  On one hand she was trying to undermine Mab, that is why she wanted the Knife to begin with, power..  At the same time she did her best to save Harry, perhaps her promise to Margaret in this case was stronger than the infection... But remember in Proven Guilty one minute she was warning Harry that she must not be let go, then the next wanting him to turn her lose. 

Rasins:
I usually have the series on a loop, but recently took a break and read the WoT series.

I restarted it this weekend and am on Fool Moon now.

I usually can do a book a week. So, I plan to start about 4 months prior to release date.
