Inconsistancy in Skin Game?

(1/2) > >>

morriswalters:
Well I'm listening to Skin Game again.  In the initial meet with Anna Valmont Harry asks Anna  if remembers what happened the last time she did a deal with Nick, she responds that "we tried to screw him and he screwed us back harder."

But she wasn't dealing with Nick, she was dealing with Marcone, she didn't know that Nicodemus or the Denarians existed.  Am I misreading what Butcher has written.

raidem:
Some fans asked him about that.  It seemed there was some bit of confusion on that point.  Jim settled it in as how it was depicted in Skin Game.

morriswalters:
Thus speaks Jim.  Thanks for the response.

Snark Knight:
Maybe it was indeed a simple retcon to introduce the idea that Nic was the original buyer and Harry just wasn't aware that Marcone outbid him after the deal was supposed to be sealed. But the Denarians in DM never acted like it was personal payback for being double-crossed. They just seemed to be out to jack the merchandise - I don't think the Churchmice even knew who they were.

I'm not sure it's a coincidence that this came in the same book where bleed-through between parallel universes starts to be noticed in the form of Harry's dreams interacting with a bunch of other copies of himself. Jim has also said that some of the apparent continuity errors are actual oversights, and sometimes background details changing between books are a deeper clue. Which are which seems like a pretty worthwhile occasion to use author's prerogative to lie where necessary to cover a spoiler.

Yuillegan:
Snark Knight do you know where that interview is about some apparent continuity errors being hints of a deeper clue? I would love to see that. It certainly would be a neat way to fix a few problems.
