I've seen this comment (or those like it a lot), but I just don't understand it. Yes, there have been more Starborns revealed (two) in the last book than the previous 16, but still having three is VERY small in the large scheme of the DresdenVerse. Even if you included the possible/suspected Starborns (5 total called out previously in this thread), then you still have less than half a dozen. I understand that Starborns are rare and that something is killing them off, but it is not inconceivable that we have seen 3 or 5 of them (from varying cycles) over 17 books.

I think some people had originally understood "Starborn" to be a unique sort of Chosen One.  One per cycle.
So they feel a bit peeved when Jim keeps pulling new starborn's out of his... hat.

Yup, he is in danger of going to that well once too often, because from the beginning we are given the impression that starborn is something special, now we greet it simply with shrug of shoulders.

Regenbogen:
Harry isn't that special. So what?
seanham is right. It's not that many starborns.
But interesting in which positions they are.   
Winter Knight/Warden, sort of Fomor Commander, ally or whatever Listen is and the Black Court boss/necromancer whatever.

Somebody needs to share that with Butcher. Harry's risen from the dead.  He's the Winter Knight. He hang's with  Archangels.  And he knows a thing who knows a thing. It's draining after a while.  He needs to get to the point.  Or not depending on how you feel about it.
