The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Name the next book! (Unofficial Fan Contest begins!)
Conspiracy Theorist:
Bann Sidhe is a bit lopsided but still better than Twelve Months and Good Year is a bit tyred, but let’s try
“STAG DON’T”
“Harry realised he had made a terrible mistake in asking the Erl King to organise his Batchelor party as he scrambled to avoid the Wild Hunt.”
Or
“LAST DAZE”
“Harry has to snap out of his funk as he is marrying into the lethal White Court.”
I like this, punny, references the impending loss of his freedom to matrimony and his mental health issues, as well as fits in a temporal reference which is the ONLY thing Twelve Months does.
OR
“LONELY KNIGHT”
“Harry’s wedding night is a sham, alienated from his brother and his grandfather.”
Yuillegan:
It is a bit lopsided, I admit.
I like STAG DON'T but I can't see the other two being actual titles.
Truth be told, if it isn't TWELVE MONTHS then I doubt we will guess it here. But it's fun to try!
Conspiracy Theorist:
We have been concentrating on the wedding or the length of the narrative when perhaps we should be looking at the year long search for Justine and her child with Thomas.
“Harry knew from personal experience what it was like to have your child abducted, for his brother Thomas trapped in Demonreach he could do no less than than to rescue his child and love from Nemesis in a case far too close to home.”
MISSING PERSONS
Referencing not only the missing Justine and Child but the “missing” Thomas, the whereabouts of the Titan, the estranged Eb and the lost Chandler, the dead Murphy (and Hendricks), Wild Bill, and Yoshi, as well as everyone who died or was lost in the Battle of Chicago as sub-plots these are the people he lost and the people he is missing, family and friends, fellow citizens and fits in very nicely with the noirish flavour of the series. Harry would constantly be called upon in his professional capacity as Wizard of Chicago to “find” people missing in the Battle of Chicago by desperate loved ones.
Jim is likely doing this as an examination of grief and loss and effects on mental health, Harry likely suffers from PTSD, grief, depression, Survivor guilt and impostor syndrome. This plays into all of this.
This also fits in with Christmas Eve where Harry gets the accounting of the lost and injured from Mab, ‘missing persons’ indeed.
This is my current favourite.
The Portmanteau name title would be
Last HaRa
A pun on Last Hurrah of course and Harry and Lara .I love puns and the pain they inflict upon other people, there must be a nerdy White Court Vampire who lives on this.
Dina:
So, is Hara the current shipping name? I like it :)
Conspiracy Theorist:
I kind of feel it should have an exclamation point
HaRa!
You kind of get the idea Lara always finishes with an exclamation.
