Dabble Interview 23 August 2023
Conspiracy Theorist:
I think “nanny” rather than “Bodyguard” Harry has made an enemy of Nameless and Miss Lapland, as a fellow Scandinavian Freydis will be able to give Harry the skinny on them. Typical rivalry between the Swedes and the Finns. I can see Harry running Freydis ragged.
This also equalises his position with Marcone.
Who is to say that the new apprentice is an established character? The supercharged magical atmosphere of Battle Ground will have set off any number of prepubescent Wizards to be. Harry is likely to be dealing with a 10-12 year old, whose parents consider Harry a better bet than the White Council. That means someone who knows i.e. a Paranetter family.
Or his 18 year old son by Elaine. I have pointed out on another thread that if Elaine was pregnant around the time of Justin’s death then any child would turn 18 during Next Book. It’s not that Jim has overused the trope of “long lost relative” only for his brother, Grandfather, both children and briefly his parents.
magnuskn:
Although the interviewer didn't get to my question about Ivy, he got my intro about the Pathfinder RPG and how I look forward to meeting Jim at Fantasyfestival in Denmark next month. I really hope I get to talk to him a few minutes about it (and maybe ask one or two Dresden Files related questions outside of the Q&A).
Of course I'd love for the Valkyrie bodyguard to be Murphy... it would neatly circumvent the "out of the memory of living beings" clause for Einherjar, without having made Sigrun a liar.
And making Fitz his apprentice would also tie up my long-standing annoyance with that entire sub-plot of Ghost Story, which seemed a gigantic waste of pages at the time.
Conspiracy Theorist:
It concerns me that Jim let this info drop so casually, most unlike Jim unless he has twists in mind, he his building an expectation only to confound us later.
Conspiracy Theorist:
Murphy cannot be a Valkyrie, they don’t make winged horses that small and she would never live down a winged pony.
Fitz doesn’t have a broad enough talent to be a wizard, but I could see him apprenticing to Mort.
RobReece:
I just watched the interview and came straight here to see if anyone had caught these "tidbits".
My opinion, is that it won't be Karen, because of the limitations Odin requires. The only reason it would happen is the absolute torture Harry would experience with as he prepares for and approaches his wedding to Laura.
I could almost see the conversation...
Karen- I was dead a week? And already you're engaged? Did you have her crawl inside your hospital bed?
As for apprentice, I think Maggie's too young yet, I'm hoping for Fitz
