The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers

What do you look forward to in Peace Talks?

(1/10) > >>

TrueMonk:
I realise that there is just soo many things to look forward to. I will just list two :-)

-To see the effect of Harry not being limited by money in terms of building cool magical stuff. It has always held him back to some degree before, but now he has a bag of diamonds.
- I wonder if he is going to use earth magic more, it was stated in changes that it is a more physically demanding discipline than the others and since he is now at the very least one of the physically strongest mortal wizards in the world, that could be something.

What do you look forward to?

exartiem:
Seeing how Ebenezer and Thomas interact.

Mira:
   Going to keep an open mind.. ::)  The trailer and the first chapter preview kind of clash, not to mention there is going to be a part two book!  :o  One to you can be sure of, it is going to hit the fan and everyone is going to get hit! 8)

I really hope Jim goes in this direction. I don't mind if he does it slowly by just adding one or two awesome gadgets a book, but I'm going to be pretty disappointed if he doesn't at least do "permanent" or "full" enchantments. That would allow him to have more (instead of just better) equipment. In either Storm Front or Fool Moon, Harry talks about how full enchantments are expensive and he only does partial enchantments on his equipment. Jim has mentioned that Harry puts in about 20 hours a week maintaining his equipment. If he was able to do full enchantments, then he could spent that time enchanting new equipment instead of maintaining his regular gear. In Fool Moon Bob mentions "a greater Ring of Invisibility," and Harry's response is "Do I look like I'm made of money? I can't afford that."

So both more equipment and some awesome stuff are now possible for Harry according to the rules established in the books. I just hope Jim doesn't forget about it.

I do look forward to seeing what Jim says about Harry's finances. If anyone recalls the various estimates of the value of the diamonds, they went from "Harry's set for life if he's careful with his money" to "Oprah looks poor by comparison money." I'm thinking it should be somewhere around "Harry's set for life as long as he isn't completely stupid with his money" amounts based on Marcone's reaction to the diamonds.

I look forward to seeing Bonea. I doubt she is going to be very useful based on some things that Jim has said. I have a feeling if Harry is asking for her help like he did with Bob, it's going to be more like asking Toot questions about Winter Law and speaking Russian.

Breaking the masquerade.  And Bad Alias, Bonea may not shine now but Jim has warned you  that she will eventually. She was thought  to be very valuable by a fallen angel.  That says something.
