Anyone Else Surprised or Disappointed That Harry

"Also, TCF posted the transcription of an interview with Jim and he answers the question about Ivy. I post it here under a spoiler tag, so people can choose if read it or not (not everyone wants to know WoJ)
(click to show/hide)Priscellie: Joseph R asks "why didn't the Archive interact more with Dresden?"
Jim: There's character reasons for that which we might find out more later. But the Archive, well for one thing the Archive doesn't want to interact real hard with anybody, the Archive is there for everybody. The Archive is there to be the backup memory of humanity. It's not supposed to be involved with any one being or one cause or anything like that, it's got to be a pretty big cause before the Archive says "yes, that's acceptable for the Archive to pitch on because this is a cause that is in the interest of all humanity." Like fighting Ethniu, that was a cause that was somewhat worthy."
Yes, that makes sense, I even said as much, but it is still a disappointment.

Both complaints are accurate. There was too much “battle, battle, battle” and not enough actual character development.
The books were weak.

There was some possible set up for Mirror Mirror, or what could be. I just hope we don't have to wait six years to read it.
As I said before the books had a kitchen sink feel to them. I agree battle, battle, battle, and no character development makes for a weak story. Like the final season of Game of Thrones, there was a lot of BOOM, but very little light and heat resulting in a lot of disappointed fans.

As long as we're listing things Peace Talks/Battleground seem missing, Where was the Leanansidhe? All the fey turn out, from the Gobblin King to both courts of the Sidhe, to all the local wild fey. Basically everyone, EXCEPT the one fey whomis said to be stronger than all save Mab. Why? What gives there? That extra punch might have saved lives. Where was she?
