Soul gazing a octopus pretty much did me in with the idea. Maybe a squirrel next?
I think idea was - that you know kraken was a human being turned by Fomor - maybe brain implaneted in octopus - they are after all fleshcrafters.
Thomas is where he is for a reason. He can't stay a vampire. Vampires don't have happy endings.
Dunno really. I'm not wanna go neither too pesimistic nor too optimistic about him.
For all I care he could stay whampire, and live past BAT as such - if Butcher have anything interesting to do with him rather than be sexy vampire brother.
I had some hopes that the story line would mature when Harry accepted what he had bought by becoming Mab's Knight and the difficulty of being a father. Instead it has moved to the sublime. Here comes the apocalypse, but wait while I take the child to the babysitter and dump my idiot brother in stir.
Yeah, I mean 12 Months seems to be a book to go more deep into mature stuff.
But unfortunately overall Dresden Files are prisoners of own formula, most of readers love this formula - me included really, and Jim perfected it.
Plus for all dark shit Jim can do - he is not that dark of a storywriter. I mean I have no doubts Maggie is safe - so putting her in danger do nothing to me.
There is certain problem than in almost every book Dresden is motivated by putting someone close to him in direct danger - that's like main reason or second main reason he do any shit. He is too reactive in the end.
You have Eb arguing that he's too close to the White's by having Thomas in the house. And now Harry is courting Lara. That can't end well. Harry better keep those murder dolls in stock. There are plenty of near Earth asteroids for Eb to call down. With the way everybody was acting I could believe that Harry was already in Mirror Mirror world.
what do you mean by last one?
I think there was some of it, Harry's fears about becoming a monster but at the same time beginning to understand Mab better. But I agree it did get weird after that.
Harry Mab relationship is best part of last 3 books. His human relationship in comparison are like prolonged soap-opera really.
No, it can't, I guess I am one of the few who isn't looking forward to Mirror Mirror.. Maybe I am just sick of hearing about it?
You are the only one.
I look forward Mirror Mirror because I hope it will be source of lot's and lot's of knowledge.
