The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
New short story
morriswalters:
Well, maybe the problem is that Goodman Grey isn't well developed. Everybody else had multiple books.
toodeep:
I agree it was meh. It was the first look into the world of Goodman Grey, and it was extremely uninformative. It might have had to have been to keep his mystique, but it made the story very bland. It gave no information about his past, no real additional information about his abilities or limits, and very little about his goals/methods; other than he does generally appear to try to be a "good" monster, and his price of 1 dollar with Dresden wasn't a one-off, it is what he charges all his clients. The real question is, would he be as easy to hire on a job to go kill a school full of children, or some other "monstrous" act (since he acknowledges being a monster). We get no idea what his ethical goals/requirements really are. How does his apparent desire to be "good" square with the immediate feeling that he give the KotC that he is "very bad?"
Bad Alias:
He claims to be doing good to pay the Rent, (click to show/hide)but his assistant says he's already paid another six months of rent. He's doing it for other reasons. He also thumbs his nose at Marcone. He could have handed the photos over to Marcone, who would have eliminated those guys on his own schedule. But he didn't. He suggests he's getting revenge for the wrong done to him.
The story was meh. One thing I noticed was that Grey referred to magazines as such instead of clips like Harry always seems to. This implies that Jim knows the difference, but Harry doesn't.
(click to show/hide)Also, why were the guards armed with semi-auto uzis? They're not the best or cheapest for the work they were doing. I'd get if they were full auto, but they weren't.
Mira:
So are you saying not to waste my money on the anthology? :o
morriswalters:
I don't regret buying it.
