No I mentioned Cold Days because that was the last book before she got the mantle, the illusions were all her.
That was Lea teaching her. And some real determination to get better. And life on the run relying heavily on her magic.

Harry never really had a good teacher in the get the most power out of the pupil sense. Justin just wanted a thug he could use and Ebenezer was mostly trying to stamp the warlock out of Harry.

That is why I think he should have accepted LTW offer long ago and I hope that River teaches him things. But I am afraid he will only be focused in shapeshifting.

We'll see if Harry makes a similar leap after a year with a teacher.

This would be nice, but I don't know if he will have the time. He is supposed to show up at Lara's side on several occasions, work on his trauma, repair the castle, care for Maggie, (re)establish himself as Wizard of Chicago (whatever that means), fight the occasional monster, do Winter Knight stuff, make some money, ...

I can't imagine LtW will be available as a teacher, because he is Council. Imho it is more likely that River Shoulders become his teacher. But I don't think he would come to live in Chicago, so Harry would have to go to him. Maybe even live a for a while in the forest or the reservation. So even if he can free himself for a while from his duties, what about Maggie. He would either have to take her with him or make her live with the Carpenter's again. I don't think she would agree. Leaving her would hurt her a lot. He won't do that on purpose.

River Shoulders son is coming to Chicago which I presume was one of the reasons why Job Placement exists. Harry will have a teacher in Chicago.

Really though to complement the glasses, River needs a nice tweed suit with leather elbow patches.

I agree.

About the rest, CT is right. And perhaps Harry will finally remember the amulet of his mom is more than a conversational piece and he will use the ways to go back and forth the forest. I don't know. I just really hope he takes at least some time to learn. He is not daft, he just did not care for power so far. But he needs to do it now.

Which is quite ironic considering at least every 2 books he swoons over how cool Power is and how he loves doing new things with it. Yep.

And don't forget the glasses. Never forget the glasses! Without them he would look scary.

Does she? Is that in the books somewhere? I can't remember.

Just WoJ at the moment, she's going to the school that's been introduced in the Bigfoot stories (and reintroduced as accorded neutral ground in the microfictions). Harry will still be trying to get the acronym changed from Saint Mark's Academy for the Gifted and Talented to Saint Mark's Academy for the Resourceful and Talented.

SMART is much, much better.
In the books he mentioned that Maggie would be at school in the Spring, but I think he had not chosen one yet.

She will be a day student rather than a boarder. Irwin was a Boarder because his mother was often out in the field, which is where she met his father.

Of course Harry should also send Toot and Lacuna as well, they are two and a half foot tall in BG and doubtlessly will have undergone another growth spurt, putting them around Maggie’s size. And the Mouse and Maggie books will need comic relief.
