Also up in the air, how did Murphy break her arm on her vacation with Kincaid?  Never explained, but rough sex was never ruled out..

I doubt that. Kincaid gave her a P90 as a souvenir of their vacation together. I would think it more likely that either some of his work followed him on vacation, or they stumbled onto something while they were in Hawaii.

I vaguely remember folks talking about this becoming a short story, but I don't remember if that was just a fan idea, or something that Jim threw out as a "maybe someday..."

Oh that would be hilarious. The biggest let down in the series.

Depends on if Drakul is progenitor to all Vampires or just some.

Given the differences between the behaviors and origin locations of the courts I would think that they are examples of "covergent evolution" i.e. the development of similar traits from different sources. The Black court feeds on blood, but are all (or at least all but one) revenants. The Red court feeds on blood, but are changed while still alive. The White court feeds on emotions. We don't know anything about the Jade court or any of the minor courts. All are parasites, but there are enough differences that they wouldn't be a single evolutionary line

I've been thinking about this. Evanna had the motive and opportunity to put "the whammy" on Thomas.  If I remember correctly she is Etri's sister. We know almost nothing about Svartelf politics or line of sucession.  If  she would be in line to become queen on Etri's death, she would have a very powerful reason to manipulate Thomas into an assassination attempt. It was widely known that Thomas was her lover, and the time alone would be sufficient for her to create a deep seated compulsion to kill Etri. That he failed and killed another was simply bad luck.

If I remember correctly Harry was due back wages once the Wardens became aware of the fact that he was alive. It probably wasn't a huge amount, but at least a couple of hundred dollars.

It seems to me that if Peace Talks had been split into 2 books then the publisher would have announced both, since we all know that we'd line up to buy 2 books at the same time.

I'm wondering if someone in the marketing department just got ahead of themselves and this is book 21.

she died before the end of the book, where the Mirrorverse diverged

I missed something. How do we know where the mirrorverse diverged?

I've suggested that Walt Disney is actually a vampire that feeds of happiness. That would explain the persistent rumor that he's been sighted at Disneyland long after he was reported as dead.

I think there are actually a few Shakers left, believe it or not, since celibacy is a requirement. Pretty sure there are a few dozen living in the last Shaker community up in Maine), etc.) kick off, and Harry returns from his period of mourning and hermitude to kick back.

I remember reading that the last Shaker died sometime in the 90's being well over 100.
