The Law

(1/27) > >>

Conspiracy Theorist:
The Law, just finished the first read through. It is set a month and four months after Battle Ground, so still not further in the time-line than Christmas Eve/The Good People

My theories about Bob and the internet appear to be correct, he can indeed access it and mobile phones in the Castle and appears to be streaming movies for Harry.

One of my theories about the Unseelie Accords was also bang on the money, Mab doesn’t care about Harry unless it also involves an insult to Winter, in this case damage to the company car. Then yes she gets involved.

Some of my speculation confirming Paranoid Gary is also correct, and he now appears to be working with Harry, but especially Bob.

Regenbogen:
Me too.  ;D

There is also mentioned that apparently the castle needs some kind of spirit to fully function. This seems to be before Bob was referred to as "the Castle", before " Little Things".

LOL I laughed about Harry's argument (click to show/hide)that Mab is involved because the company car was damaged. Also about his forced politeness towards Marcone.

It seems that Will is there not only to help with the refugees and running the castle, but also to keep Harry functioning. Harry seems to kind of "black out" sometimes, even while being occupied with cooking for example, because thoughts about Murphy's moment of death come to him a lot. OK, no wonder, it has been only one month. I'm thinking about Will's "Harry, come back" comment while Harry was trying to fry eggs.

Paranoid Gary was hilarious.


Edit: @ CT: did you start reading at midnight? I just noticed the time stamp. I admit, I would have done that, too, if I had been awake that long, but I fell asleep at 23:30, woke up again at 3 a.m. and decided not to get angry at my inability to sleep on and simply start reading. LOL

Regenbogen:
Sorry about the double post:

I also noticed, that there is no Maggie. Not even in Harry's thoughts. The only sign that there is a child in his life, was his answer to someone saying that people want better lives for their kids and Harry throws in "me too". That's it.

Con:
I mean the novella is appropriately named everyone sticking to a convoluted letter of the law interpretation
but I feel like in the end the entire argument was a little moot for most parties

(click to show/hide)Pimp got killed by St Louis which Marcone considers a legitimate case of business, Harry goes out of his way to save the guys life from supernatural threats, but just kinda shrugs when after all that effort mortals kill him. The Finnish are the ones who lose the most face while exposing themselves the most. [/spoilers]

Conspiracy Theorist:
Harry saved the pimp from everyone else, he knew that he could not save him from himself. If his deal with St Louis didn’t kill him he would soon annoy someone else who would.

I suspect Laplanders punishment is a nice meal, a show and a night of romantic woo. Date Night. It would both horrify and demean her in her own eyes, and Nameless knows that he is storing up bad karma with her should she ever break free, but that may be the only way to punish her.

The Law part of the evolution of Harry as a schemer, we saw it first in Skin Game, and again in Battle Ground taking the Castle, here he out schemes Mab, arch schemer himself. Nicodemus, Marcone and now Mab have all been outschemed by Harry.

Harry has quoted Gandal “But it is said: Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger.”

Harry has always been quick to anger, but he has learn’t subtle.
