Hello.. Not my first time posting here, I used to be around with a different name a long long long time ago (years), but I lost all my passwords and accounts and stuff.. So anyway, hello all!
So.. This might be a silly thing, and maybe it's just a error in continuity, but it kinda bugs me, a lot tbh.. I noticed a couple of things in my second reading..
1. What's up with Harry's shirt?
Because when he gets to change out of the suit to the stuff Molly brings him before the battle starts, he says:
“It had my stuff in it, from the apartment. A pair of jeans, a T-shirt, and my ensorcelled leather duster. ”
The usual Harry ensamble. Nothin unusual there.
And then in the Murphy-gets-shot scene:
“I ripped the duster off, tore my shirt in my haste to get it off over my head, wrapped it into a pad, and put pressure on the gaping wound... There was so much blood. It soaked my shirt through.”
But then, when Harry gets hurt much later in the battle, we have:
“Oh boy,” Butters breathed. He crouched over me and ripped my shirt open.”
He's wearing a shirt again... Did he put on the shirt again all soaked in Murphy's blood? That'd be too weird... And it's never mentioned that he gets a new one (doesn't seem like there's even time during the battle right). I actually did a word search in the epub version, and didn't find any references to that.
Again, maybe it's just a error in continuity, and I don't have any crazy theories about it, it just bugs me, and I wanted to know if somebody else noticed, LOL. (I do admit I would think it awesome if I just stumbled upon something that later would become meaningful in the books).
2. And the second thing, this line from Butters, when he's with Harry defending Mab:
“The Queen of Air and Darkness stared up at me with wide, glassy, grass green eyes.
Three feet of bloodied cold iron stood clear from the center of her torn, spraying throat...
...“He reached my side, threw himself down behind the dead unicorn, and took one look at Mab.
“Jesus,” he blurted. “Again?”
“Shut up and get it out of her neck,” I said.”
I just find Butter's attitude kinda weird here. I know it's the heat of the battle and all that, but it sounded very insensitive to say something like that to Harry after what happened with Murphy. And yeah, I mean, yes "again" it's true. Maybe it just was for some humor, but it just seems odd somehow.
Maybe it's just me being too into details, but those two things that I pointed out here really bug me, as if I'm missing something.
Anyway, just wanted to share my crazyness. LOL.
