DF Spoilers / Molly in Cold Case
« on: March 31, 2021, 01:45:26 AM »
Something jumped out at me in a line from the end of Cold Case.

Quote
Winter law showed me a vivid image. An endless war fought at the far borders of reality. A war against the pitiless alien menace known simply as the Outsiders. A war fought by millions of fae to prevent the Outsiders from invading and destroying reality itself. A war so long and bitter that bones of fallen were the topography of the landscape. It was why the Winter Court existed in the first place. Why we were so aggressive, so savage, so filled with lust and the need to create more of our kind.

This is right after Molly was saddled with the Winter Lady mantle. That last line, "Why we were so aggressive... the need to create more of our kind."

I was mulling this over on a drive tonight and thinking if it was the inclusive 'We' or the Royal 'We'. The Royal We would be bad, but not terrible. Just Molly acknowledging that she is part of the ruling family of Winter fae. But when I got home and read it again, I realized that it is the inclusive 'We', because of the 'our' that follows it.

Right after she had the mantle thrust upon her, she was self-identifying as a Winter fae.

DF Spoilers / Jim on Molly's future

...Though Molly's sort of... her story path is not... it's not towards being familiar and human...

I gotta say, this has killed a lot of my investment in the books. I'm not concerned about Harry. He gets battered and bruised, but it's the people around him that always wind up paying. If Molly falls to Winter completely, I'm out. I will be Farcry 5, GOT Season 8 pissed. Harry promised to get out of Winter and bring Molly with him. Just like he promised to save Susan.

Harry is turning into the Destroyer. But it's his friend's lives he destroys.

DF Spoilers / BAT Timing Is Perfect
« on: March 08, 2021, 02:16:20 AM »
PT/BG took place in 2014. We have 5 more regular books before the BAT, the final three books.

If Jim keeps his pace of the books have about a year's separation.

That means the BAT kicks off in 2020.

Perfect, Jim. Perfect.

DF Spoilers / Molly's new magic
« on: March 05, 2021, 05:16:16 PM »
Since Cold Days, Molly has displayed roughly one new magic skill per appearance. Not counting any air or cold based magic which presumably are inherent in her being the Winter Lady she has shown; In Skin Game, she magically healed Harry. In Peace Talks she enchanted an item to spec for Harry in a couple of hours, and she used communication magic to coordinate the deployment of Winter's troops. Throughout several appearances she's been able to move from location to location much faster than by physically travelling the distance between the two places. In The Good People she created matter from thin air and used temporal magic.

Molly is using magic far beyond her previous areas of competence. To say nothing of the major power bump from being the Winter Lady, her competence with magic is far outstripping her former master. Harry had better get some major magic skill in Twelve Months or I'm going to start losing interest in him. Sure, he's a knuckle-dragging bruiser. But in the company he's been keeping of late, that's no longer enough.

Any other instances of Molly using new magic skills that I'm missing?
