The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Christmas Eve from JB's Twitter (no news, just fun)
Mira:
--- Quote ---She brought the sword to have the option available which is not wrong. She either could find a situation where she could use it or could give it to someone if the occasion demanded it. The sword had to be there she just did not know what to do with it.
--- End quote ---
Huh?
--- Quote ---Murphy isn't Superwoman and any number of things are hard on Harry. The Timeline is fairly explicit. She is injured(ACL) in February and Peace Talks happens in June or shortly thereafter. Four months. There is bullheaded and there is stupid. But of course she could strap her P90 to her cast and totter to the scene of the action in her wheelchair. ;)

Not out of the question... Even with full knee replacement, or arthroscopic knee surgery she could be moving very well in four months time... Maybe not up to hand to hand, but shooting action? Yup, she could...
--- Quote ---The sword had to be there. Her emotions colored how she used it but she had no real choice at that moment. We have discussed this endlessly but the alternative was a dead Harry or Waldo, she saved a life and the sword was fixable.
--- End quote ---
She didn't really, it was all a ploy... It was Harry the real appointed custodian that made the right choices at the right time to both get the Sword fixed and choose a Knight.
--- Quote ---She was there because Harry asked her. Harry is not going to ask her for peace talks after what happened in Skin Game so the whole question is moot.
--- End quote ---
That is jumping the gun because we don't know as of yet if Harry will ask her unless you've seen
spoilers the rest of us haven't.
--- Quote ---You have the Shedd Aquarium, the Field Museum, Soldier Field, the Alder Planetarium, Burnham harbor, Lakeshore Center, South Beach and miscellaneous other family venues that might be packed on a sunny day in June. It strikes me as a tens of thousands killed and injured place.
--- End quote ---
Yup, that is true, and Harry will feel responsible and mourn them, but in my opinion his pain is deeper..
--- Quote ---Skin game was different. The secrecy was because Anduriel listened to everything. Karen understood when Harry told her that it was not to protect her but himself and she followed Harry's unspoken advise. References to earlier cases where Harry kept secrets to protect other people are not to the point.
--- End quote ---
She had no idea about Anduriel or his capabilities... Because if she did she'd know that she could not keep the fact
that she had the Sword concealed with her.. Fool Harry, yeah, but Nic though Anduriel, no....

--- Quote from: Mira on January 01, 2019, 06:27:37 AM ---No? Hmmmm, what about getting the snot kicked out of her by Nic and a Holy Sword broken because she thought she knew what best to do and wouldn't listen to reason?
--- End quote ---
Uhhh Harry begging her to back him up on his mission with Nicodemus? She went because he begged her and brought the Sword because of the Denarian's being involved.... Seem's pretty rational to me. The only place she screwed up at was when she tried to judge Nicodemus, and under the circumstances, and heat of the moment I think it's pretty understandable.

Well it isn't out of the question. But the idea that his allies might die is one thing, but if his true purpose is to defend those who can't defend themselves, the the deaths of thousands is going to hit hard. Think about the narrative in Christmas Eve. Harry has his daughter and the core of his "family" with him. Which would force him to confront the reality all those families who no longer do.
Arjan:
There is already a buildup. The fomor are kidnapping people and using them on a big scale. The Fomor will be the main antagonists in the new book. Add these two together and you get a potential for a huge number of innocent casualties of the very kind Harry is most likely to try to protect. Harry's closest friend can die of course but this was not what the story was about. It was about huge numbers of innocent victims.
tacorrific:
Hasn't Jim said somewhere that Mab and Winter are in charge of the security and safety at the peace talks? That would mean that Harry would also be responsible for keeping things smoothly and dealing with any problems arising. That could also be why Molly paid for all the expenses of the fallout. The people killed would not have been part of any agreements and therefore originally left out of any compensations. But Harry would see that very differently.
