The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Little Things [spoilers]
Conspiracy Theorist:
Mab took over handling Mister post Grave Peril, when he became interesting to her as Winter Knight. Before that it was all Lea. Harry was only part of the price from freeing her from Nemesis, I suspect both Mister and Bob were part of the deal. A good spymaster has a spy in your household, a great spymaster has more than one, they can check if one has been turned by romance novels or catnip. Besides Lea always gave that stalkery vibe.
Note Bob is openly Bob The Castle now displaying Winter Blue. He is clearly in from the cold with Winter, and into the greater cold. Bob is probably spying on the Castles inhabitants for Mab (and the female ones on his own behalf, for ahem security purposes).
His change of sanctum will take him off the White Council hit list as well, they are looking for a skull with glowing orange eyes. He now only has to worry about being targeted as Harry’s HQ. Which is almost immediately it seems.

Anyone else have comments on the rest of the anthology, though? Worth / not worth?

For me it is. I would totally recommend Kevin Hearne's story without reading it. Though I don't know, if it is useful to know the Iron Druid beforehand. This story though is from the dog's POV. I've read several short stories from the dog's POV, and it is hilarious! ;)
Then there is Kelley Armstrong. The author of the series "Women of the Otherworld" and many more. I like her style in writing and have read most of her books. This story seems to be in the setting of her young adult series, I have forgotten the title.
And of course Patricia Briggs. Tbh I wanted the book at first because it was mentioned on her website. Her story is from the Mercy Thompson universe and features one of the old dangerous werewolfs looking for love, if I remember correctly. Could be funny or tragical. Or both.
Then there is Anne Bishop. I have not read a complete book by her, because I started accidentally somewhere in the middle and stopped, because I was too confused. But I liked what I've read so far.
The others I have never read. But after reading my favourite authors, I'm going to try out the others.
The way I see it, the anthology is kind of a teaser to find new good stories.
So far I have only read the Butcher story. But I started the Hearne story today.
((((((((( EDIT: I have started to read the story by Kevin Hearne.
Warning to the new readers:
It contains spoilers about the end of the Iron Druid series. But you can read it without knowing the series. The dog explains every important thing. ;)
I don't think the spoilers would ruin the series for you. It's about how the druid's life is different because of what happened, but it doesn't say what it was that happened. )))))))

Here is a question, where was Mouse? Mouse would have known immediately what was up and dealt with it. Presumably he is with Maggie, so the kids, or at least her must be still staying with the Carpenters until the castle is done completely or she now is away at school.
Conspiracy Theorist:
I had thought that myself, no sign of Maggie and Bonny, it does strike me though that Little Things means an obvious introduction between Maggie and Bonny and Bob “this is your uncle Bob who runs the Castle and is a pervert’

It's been a bum rap on uncles ever since there has been uncles... Given Bob's history however, a case can be made for it. I guess Harry could threaten to hand him over to Mab if he misbehaves, he is terrified of her if I remember correctly from Grave Peril.
