CrusherJen:
This is true... I miss Mouse a lot. But I have a feeling he's got a big part to play in some future story, when we get to discover why he picked Harry. ;D
Mira:

I agree, it is much too cliche, and totally agree about Mouse. But she is here now, so I also agree with CrusherJen, give Harry a chance to raise his little girl. No, he will never be the perfect parent, heck, anyone who has ever been one, knows there is no such thing.

I agree
Bad Alias:
--- Quote from: Yuillegan on December 02, 2020, 03:03:11 AM ---Agreed. But I do hope Jim's editor tells him that it's a bit stale and needs to be fixed. He cannot keep shoehorning in a chapter about getting Maggie to safety every time.

On the other hand, it's also really annoying when people have a kid, usually in a sitcom, and the kid is rarely if ever mentioned again. Instead of a chapter or whatever, it could be mentioned in a sentence. GS is a good example where Molly explains to Harry that Maggie is safe. That was maybe a paragraph.

--- End quote ---
The masquerade falling doesn't mean that everyone knows that St. Marks is part of the supernatural. Think of it more like 1492. After the discovery of a whole new set of continents and people, it took a while to figure out even pretty basic details. Like that it wasn't the far east.

That's the larger problem for me.
Depending on parenting style, Maggie either is or soon will be old enough to stay home by herself. If Castle Dresden is half as secure as Demonreach, that's a solution too. Especially considering she's going to have Mouse and two spirits of intellect around.

Yet the existence of little Maggie and Mouse were pivotal in Harry's defeat of the Titan. She almost won when Harry thought that little Maggie and the Carpenters were dead, but when Harry realized she wasn't it was his love for her and his visualization of both her and Mouse hugging him that kept his concentration and will in tact, along with the boost from the Spear, the Titan couldn't defeat that.
