The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Christmas Eve from JB's Twitter (no news, just fun)
groinkick:
I thought this was a really great short story.
I'm not surprised Murphy, Thomas, and others weren't there. It was late Christmas Eve. Also it would mean big spoilers, and stuff.
(click to show/hide)As for thousands of people dying... Pretty crazy. I'm wondering if it will be something that can be explained as a natural disaster. Freak tidal wave, or earth quake, or something like that. I think that people close to Harry who will die will be people from past books that we haven't seen for a while. Members of the Alpha's for example.

The average person doesn't know them up to the billions, though, which is what the medical bill for thousands of people and funerals for hundreds more likely adds up to.

But Harry isn't average, he also would know the mystical significance if there is one, thus know
immediately that no matter how large that it is a prime number.
--- Quote ---I did find it odd that Murphy wasn't there. However, I will say, I found it odd that Mister wasn't there. Mister would be with Murphy. The fact that Mister wasn't around seems to suggest he is with Murphy.
I also had the thought to conform with my ideas that Murphy=Mab, that Murphy was actually there with Harry on Christmas just in another guise.

But the quote about Maggie giving Mister broccoli says he is back living with Harry now... So who knows.. You may win in the end that Mab is Murphy or is it the other way around? :-\

I'm spending way to much time on Harry related things, which to be fair I have in excess. For all those Murphy killers out there, a WOJ.
--- Quote ---This book is only set a couple of months after the end of the previous one [Skin Game], so, you know, Murphy’s still undergoing surgeries and so on to get fixed because when you get hurt like that, it takes a long time to get better. When you’re not some kind of superhuman, “I work for Queen Mab”, living punching bag…

Ah, but since when did something like a bum knee stop Murphy when Harry and mankind is on the line? If things get bad enough, and it looks like they will, someone will have to lock her up in a cell, tie her down and throw away the keys... Because you know how bull headed she can be, and if she thinks she can make a difference no matter how small or illogical her thought process, she will be
there. If she is, and if she gets killed in the process, the impact will be very hard on Harry.

Since literally every time Murphy's been that injured.
She got mentally busted up in Grave Peril and was out the rest of the book.
She got physically busted up in Summer Knight and was out the rest of the book.
She got physically beaten up in Skin Game and was out the rest of the book.
We're seeing a pattern here, and the pattern is absolutely not, "she's going to throw herself into the fire while she's injured."
If anything, it's the exact and complete opposite of what you're saying.
She has never been shown to be as "bull headed" as you're assuming she must be.
