The most interesting ones were probably:
- Both Sidhe courts' knights were in opposition to Napoleon. Summer backing Nelson and Winter backing Wellington. Not entirely sure from the wording if they were the Knights personally, or the Knights were lieutenants of them.
- Both of Bob's parents have appeared in the DF.
- Lea has taken part in the Wild Hunt but not led it. His description of that was great.

--- Quote ---Lea has been a part of the Hunt many times, tho she makes the Goblins a little nervous--her hounds are particularly likely to turn on a careless Huntsman, and she laughs the whooooooolllllllle time.
Lea hasn't led the Hunt herself, and she's thirsty for it, but the Erlking and Kringle have had it mostly sewn up for the past thousand years, and before that she didn't have the stature. Now her witless godchild has gotten that honor, and she's still in line? It's all about who you've killed who they know, not what you've killed that they know.

- Fix and Lily were not romantically involved. Fix and Sarissa are, secretly, and within her role's boundaries.

Now that one I would never have guessed. Implication being I guess that Fix's relationship to Lily was more of a big brother type thing. I wonder if he had been seeing Sarissa on the side before she received the mantle?

Just want to say thank you for getting these books out here this year. So, so good to see Harry back in action and makes for perfect quarantine/newborn baby on the chest reading!
What sorts of things have you been reading and enjoying lately?

I've been rereading the Amber Chronicles by Roger Zelazny. They were highly influential to Dresden, and if you haven't read them, you probably should. They're old pulp novels, so they clock in around 75k words, lean and quick.

This question and answer has been in two other Q & A’s this year. I wish people would research things.
Conspiracy Theorist:
You did miss quite a bit about what happens if you seek to get over familiar with the Ladies.
It did confirm that Carlos got off lightly i.e. he kept his genitals when Molly, ahem, cold cocked him.
The other point is that you try the same on the Summer Lady and you fall asleep (before, not immediately after). One of the posters suggested Rip Van Winkle, but this is common in mythology, there are even legends attached to King Harold about him not dying in 1066, but instead sleeping for when it is time to throw throw off the Norman yolk. We know from PT Mab rode with William the Conqueror and was likely Winter Lady at that point. Something caused the split between the sisters in 1066, so did Summer back Harold and got one in the eye?
