The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
"Talk To Me..." Had Carlos Already Drank the Kool-Aid?
morriswalters:
Dresden is monster of the book fantasy. Epic fantasy is a more coherent world building genre. Say Dune or Lord Of The Rings. But if he manages to pull the backstory out of the ditch he may have something epic on his hands.
Wicked Woodpecker of West:
I mean it is urban fantasy (Dune is more epic space opera) but with unusual vibe of epic unknown for most of this genre.
Maybe not epic fantasy per se, but sort of ... dunno superhero urban fantasy?
Dina:
I like that, superhero urban fantasy! :)

Of course as ex-Aesir he was still as mortal powerful wizard, so it's no wonder he restored much of his power by gaining various mantles including mantle of Winter King (which was presumably somehow shaped as memory of him, so it could get easier). Also it's a place where I have to say I really dislike how they use Kris Kringle as almost his proper name considering it's relatively modern concept that arise when German settlers for whome Baby Jesus was giving presents on Christmas - it's result of improper pronounciation of Christkind - (ergo Christ-Child), that was mixed with classic Santa Claus vision.
I doubt it's Jim intention - he probably just choose nickname used most in his region but if I was paranoid I'd make theory how Odin is trying to steal mantles from Jesus himself.

That isn't so crazy, you know. Somehow Odin managed to pick up the soul of a devout Catholic. There might be more cross over between Odin and Jesus in the Dresdenverse than you think.
