The Law

<< < (2/27) > >>

vincentric:
I think Mab was satisfied for the entire incident with Harry's one line.

"Then I'll just learn to play harder."

Harry is just beginning to use his brain along with his Power. If he becomes a smarter thinker and more ruthless, Mab gains exponentially despite the minor time "wasted".

Conspiracy Theorist:
Not more ruthless certainly smarter, he also outsmarted his old master Eb as well in Battle Ground. Eb even comments on it.

The other thing we learn, Harry has new Force Rings and a proper Shield Bracelet, but hardly had to use them, because he used his brain instead. This shows the turnover in the character, his subtle is waxing.

It can take  centuries for a Wizard to achieve subtle, Harry has managed it in a couple of decades, that may be why Mab is actually pleased with him.

It’s interesting that Nameless provides a new link to Kemmler and worked with him, Evil Bob would know this. That is a team -up Harry should fear.

magnuskn:
Well, I guess that's the problem with a novella, you got just so many pages to tell your story and sidetracking eats pages. Hence no Maggie. Which was disappointing, but I presume that she'll get her moments to shine in the upcoming "one year of Dresdens life" novel.

Conspiracy Theorist:
No Mouse, but we get introduced to a Basset Hound Peppermint, a friend for Mouse? No Toot so this must be set more than 2 weeks before Little Things. Marcone’s reaction to losing the Castle to Harry strongly suggests he was not responsible for the Boom, especially after a car bomb attempt on the Munstermobile ended badly for him. He never repeats a mistake. The Merlin is even more strongly a candidate for that.

We don’t see the Gargoyles, obviously they are being saved for NEXT BOOK.

I think Nameless and Ms Laplander and Max will likely end up in Goodman Grey’s stories, and The Law is a good way of introducing them to the Dresdenverse. Max I think will be in NEXT BOOK following his invitation to Game Knight (you bet everyone is calling it that behind Harry’s back).

Mira:

Well, we learned that Marcone may pay off Animal Control to declare Mouse a health hazard.
We learned that Kemmler had something to do with starting both WWI and WWII.
We learned that Harry is grieving heavily and suffering from PTSD flashbacks, but is trying
to carry on instead of curling up in a fetal position feeling sorry for himself.
We learned that while Bob may have access to the internet, his ability to hack into sites to get information is limited, hence he needed help from Paranoid Gary.
Supporting a bunch of homeless families and revamping a large castle is a huge drain on Harry's funds..  In spite of all the diamonds he collected in Skin Game he did a lot of whining about lack of funds.
The explanation they came up with to "explain" what happened during the battle for Chicago backfires sometimes..
Harry accepts seemingly that Murphy's death was an accident.
The courtship of Lara is going to be very complicated.
Harry and Marcone have reluctant respect for one another.  Harry also knows Marcone's weakness and used that to get the information he needed.
Rawlings and some of the police force are still on Harry's side. 

So all and all the first part of the story was a bit slow in my opinion, but got better towards the end.
