"Job placement" microfiction
Arjan:
I think ghost story is underestimated purely because Harry does not set enough buildings to fire. It has Lea and she was wonderfull.

I liked it as well, it also sets up how Harry's relationship with Mab is going to go.

And it has a lot of world building. It was a very important book for all kinds of discussions here.

Ghost Story was padding. It introduced nothing that could have not be done in Cold Days, without adding more than a chapter or so. Cold Days sets up everything going forward. The Outsiders, the forever war at the Gates and the final trilogy. And Jim had been pushing it since at least Proven Guilty.
Skin Games is a great book that is one third fluff, dedicated to the idea that to be a hero you need a sword. And that the writer can push something that on it's face is ridiculous, and that fan boys will buy it. And it does a disservice to Butters character arc in the series.
To whoever I just insulted I apologize, without surrendering the point. Having said that, the other two thirds is a pretty rousing heist plot with a very nice twist.
Dina:
I am not saying any of the books are not good, or relevant for the story or even needed, just that I am not a fan, for different reasons. One of those reasons is that I did not find GS or CD as entertaining as SG.
And morriswalters, the books have shown many times that you can be a hero without a sword. SG only says that sometimes a sword is a very useful and cool thing. An idea that comes from long before Jim (for example, in Arthurian legends). And of course, I personally love light sabers.
