Twelve months (speculation)

Typical WOJ, vague to the point of uselessness, other than to stir up fandom. Less than forever leaves a lot of space.

He doesn't like to paint himself into a corner, because he knows his fans have minds like steel traps and memories like elephants.. So best to be vague..
Dina:
And archives :)
Yes, I agree, Mira. Besides, what would be the fun if he told us everything?
Wicked Woodpecker of West:
TBH I often have feeling he is WOJ-ing lot of stuff, that really would be better in books as signs Harry is getting better grasp of supernatural world.

All these moments that we will see Harry healing or regressing, I hope that they are moments that tie into past memories. Like a moment if Molly asking Harry and Lara questions will bring on a memory of Will and Georgia's wedding. A call from the Archane about his resurrection will bring on a memory of Susan and their first interview. Things like that that tie it together

I like this idea and would like to add something else. Aside from Harry's personal issues there have been; I'm not certain what the literary term is, if there is one, for ideas and mysteries which not only haven't been explained, they haven't been addressed in any way at all. I'd like to see at least some clues which may point the way to their eventual resolution. "Who fixed Little Chicago?" is the mystery most fans think about first, but I doubt that it's really very important in the grand scheme of things. I suspect the final solution to that mystery will be more fun than important. A more interesting and perhaps significant mystery is what was really going on between Mab and Titania during the events of Small Favor?
Harry and the readers know something was going on, but no idea what that something was. The reason it may be important is that novel is when Harry first set foot on Demonreach Island, though he didn't name it at the time. Would Harry have ever set foot on that island if Nicodemus and company hadn't taken the Archive and Marcone there? What got me thinking about this was the short scene between Mab and Titania in Battle Ground, where Mab said something about doing one's duty, to which Titania replied, "When have I not done so?" (I can't find her exact words at the moment.) This got me thinking that just because Summer and Winter appear to be opposites, there are times when they aren't necessarily working against each other, even when they appear to be doing exactly that. Maybe the whole point of Marcone's kidnapping was to introduce Harry to the Island. Yes, I know Nicodemus chose that island, or maybe he didn't. Maybe; like in Skin Game, Nic was manipulated into making a choice that he thought was his own but was set up for him. Anyway, it's about time we start to get some clues to the deeper game Mab and Titania have been playing.
