Harry Dresden's New Apprentice!!?!

<< < (2/3) > >>

Regenbogen:
I was always wondering why we never heard from Fitz again after Ghost Story. I thought, he would be interesting. And just think about his ability to hear dead people after the Battle of Chicago. Poor kid. He would go crazy without Harry's help.

Or the young warlock Harry met in Zoo Day. Aiden? Or something other with A.
Edit: Austin! I think it was Austin.

I don't think it will be Faith Astor, because I already casted her as Kumori, lol.

Fitz and his disappearance after Ghost Story was definitely one of the flys in the ointment for my enjoyment of that book. The side story about him seemed such a pointless waste of pages, compared to the many other things Jim could have written about. If he turns out to be the new apprentice, that would change things a bit retrospectively.

I could be misremembering something Jim said right about the time Battle Ground came out, maybe just a little after.  The Battle of Chicago could remove some side characters from the series.  For example, we briefly saw Officer Rawlins and EMT Lamar in Battle Ground.  Did either or both of them survive?  We don't know.

The reason I mention this is because I think Mort Lindquist would be more suited to act as a mentor to Fitz, seeing as Mort can interact with ghosts he could give Fitz much more practical advice then Harry.  However, if Mortimer is one of those side characters who didn't survive the Battle of Chicago, then Fitz becoming Harry's apprentice makes more sense. 

If this were to be the case, I could see Fitz eventually contacting Mort's ghost, thus getting a new teacher from beyond.  Fitz wouldn't be a long-term apprentice and could take Mort's place if Dresden needs some ghostly knowledge in a future novel.  Seeing as this is a novella and not a full novel, it makes sense Harry's new apprentice; whoever it may be, isn't an apprentice for more than the duration of the story.

Don't laugh too hard, you could be right about Faith Astor.

I felt the same.  I don't hate it as much now as I did the first time I read it, but I don't love it either.

I don't think Faith works as Kumori:  Dead Beat happens just 7-8 years after Restoration of Faith (where she's just 10).

17-18 strikes me as just a bit too young for someone so robustly & diversely well-trained and experienced with magic.

I s'pose Cowl could have been playing time-dilation effects in the far Nevernever to get her an extra decade or more of training and experience.  It appears that Rashid has added centuries to his own life that way.

For the life of me I can't remember his name but the guy in Skin Game who lost his tongue. Ended up leaving the nickleheads. Most likely I'll remember who he is at 3 in the morning. Since he's been associated with the Denarians the council wouldn't touch him.
