The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Twelve Months, chapter one
RobReece:
According to the tidbit, it's only 2-3 weeks post battle, that's about 5 months ahead of Christmas Eve.
Mira:
Couldn't find it, tried the link but it wasn't there. Could they have taken it down?
Dina:
The link that RobReece put in the first post worked for me.
Well, this is more or less what I expected. Something to have the ball start running.
Specifics:
(click to show/hide)I am not sure how to say this, but it seems clumsy. Will disappeared without a word. Harry thinks he needed caffeine when he just got a coffe. I don't know, perhaps it is to show his turmoil
Robreece (click to show/hide)Why the clock would have not survived Changes? The rest I frankly do not remember.

What I got wasn't the actual chapter, but "what to expect" in the book type thing, very general.
In answer to your one question, this is what I think;
(click to show/hide) I seriously doubt it would have survived unless the fire just wasn't that bad or maybe because Harry's place was the basement and the worst of the fire was higher in the building.. Or possibly it was protected by magic somehow. I've been though a fire and even though something made of metal materials don't burn, the intense heat does things like take the temper out of metal tools for example. Actually in Changes it really doesn't say how badly the building was damaged. We just learn later in another book that Marcone bought the property, tore it down and brought in a castle to replace it. The question then becomes, how much of Harry's stuff did survive the fire? And if it did survive, what happened to it? And who had the stuff like the clock when Harry was mostly dead for the months after Changes, and when did Harry get his clock back?

We 100% know that Christmas Eve takes place after this, it's around Christmas on the same year Battle Grounds happens. And the book, Twelve Months takes place three weeks after Battle Ground, one week after the short story Little Things (from Toot toot's POV).

(click to show/hide)In my opinion, that is a device to show us how bad Harry is mentally and emotionally, he's disassociating pretty hard, he is not alright, at all. And if you look at the early reviews, which are already up on goodreads (people got ARCs three months ago), the whole book is pretty much about this. It's a book comparable to Ghost Story, a slow book and a painful book.

Huh, that's weird, the link should take you to Chapter 1, and it is indeed the full chapter. https://sites.prh.com/twelve-months-landing-page-aug-25?ref=PRHD99966B35334&aid=15745&linkid=PRHD99966B35334
