Dresden Files Continuity Errors – There aren’t any
The_Harry_that_Laughs:
There were two points that stood out to me in Battle Grounds about 'inconsistencies'.
First, Soul Fire is different in this book. Before, Soul Fire used Harry's soul to supercharge his spells, use too much and poof no more soul. In BG, Soul Fire has an external source, left over stuff from the Big Bang, and Uriel gifted Harry an amount of it.
The second is about Murph, and that Harry has used his Sight and SAW her, twice. I would think this would have come up in the book. This Harry might not have SEEN her, and why he lamented about the Soulgaze.

I am so in for this. Perhaps we can will it to be.

I'd be fine with this if the PT+BG itself had been written better. It wasn't at all and just didn't sound or feel at all like Jim had written it. It lacked the normal description & world building. Just very disjointed and both numbing & exhausting to read. I hadn't had to force myself to finish a Dresden Files book until PT and BG was even worse. The whole thing was weirdly predictable and transparent (like the Ethniu vision thing). Its like a totally different person wrote it.
I guess things like a character being in one place and then suddenly being somewhere else could be attributed to a multiverse. If that's so it wasn't done well at all.
You're not gonna convince me that Harry Dresden didn't think of his daughter at all during the multiple times he wanted to die, nor that him not unleashing enhanced pyrofuego when Murphy was killed was a multiverse thing.
Frank Herbert's Dune is an excellent example of how to tell a super complex story well. PT+BG was flat out badly written, and even worse if it was supposed to be multiverse. Its as if Jim completely forget everythinf about the entire series.

@KurtisStGeorge, I like very much your theory. I had been thinking time travel could explain some things but I liked your theory much more.
@sayyadina He did not release pyrofuego because he did not want to immediately kill Rudolph. What would be the pleasure of that? He had allowed the Mantle to take over and the mantle wanted to make him suffer first, after terrorizing him. Also, the Mantle is probably not so fond of fire as he is.

I had not thought about soulfire, you may be right. (by the way, I wondered if soulfire could have pierced Ethniu's armor. I just wanted Harry to try it). But the second, Sight is not the same than Soulgaze. The main difference is the two-way thing, and I think that is what he lamented more.

I think it is more that Harry is very careful as to how he uses it, and I believe he understands it better and how to use it. I believe in Cold Days when Mother Winter has him pinned down, he uses it and had a bit of an epiphany about it, he then said Bob knows a lot but somethings he doesn't know a whole lot about, and Soul Fire is one of them. He used to freak out when he used it, thinking he was using up part of his soul to do it. He realizes that soul fire isn't just one thing either. It is what he did in Battle Ground when he used it with the Winter Mantle to build that great wall of ice to slow down the giants so Eb and Christos could do their thing, he went to the core of his being for it.
