DF Spoilers / Re: The Law

Well, I guess that's the problem with a novella, you got just so many pages to tell your story and sidetracking eats pages. Hence no Maggie. Which was disappointing, but I presume that she'll get her moments to shine in the upcoming "one year of Dresdens life" novel.

Very good to also release it as an e-book, I prefer reading to audio novels.

Huh, the "excerpt" on the front page seemed pretty complete, not sure if there is a middle part missing or if it continues after the post-oven denoument.

And I wasn't making a conclusion on the personality and trajectory of Toot, but rather his actions in combat in the story. Harry was pretty right recalling Leonidas.

Um, did they just post the entire story in the preview for the book? I mean, that basically takes away my incentive to get the book at all, until Jim releases a collection.

Anyway, Toot is a badass. Dang.

I doubt it.  From Audible's website (linked in the OP).

Ah, I overlooked the release date. Thanks for the heads-up!

So, anybody got it and has a summary?

Yeah, pretty important information, IMO, that he now is at a level again where he can write productively, after going through personal struggles in the last year.

That's a "hell no!" from me. I want to see every Dresden book from his initial plan and more, if possible.

Kinda amazed that nobody asked a single question about Murphy.

But as I said, she needs to rest. She needs to get her head on straight before she does anything else. If she doesn't, she is just going to be on the same self destructive path that she has been on.

To quote a wise guy, "That's just your opinion, man". I don't think she needs to rest as a character. As for her self destructive path, that had clearly been dealt with already between novels. She was in a pretty bad spot in Ghost Story, but much better in Cold Days and Skin Game. I would count her issues with the swords separate from her behavious in Ghost Story, because her character arc in that novel didn't revolve around the swords.

Her coming back as a Valkyrie has been my hypothesis all along. People say "she can't even come back as an Einherjar as long as her memory hasn't faded from living memory", to which I say a.) the source of that quote is not exactly trustworthy, given whom her direct boss is and b.) rules in fiction exist to be broken, like the rules of magic, which Butcher already said that Harry would break them all at one point or another.

In regards to Murphy, there was a hint to people sad about her fate to "read on". So, yeah. "Until she has passed out of living memory" ain't gonna last.

He may be stronger with them, but take them away any he will become stronger without them. Harry needs to grow in strength. So take away support to make him grow and give it back in the end to make him even stronger after he has grown.

Agree to disagree. I think he grows way better with the support of his friends, otherwise he begins to wallow in arrogant self-pity.

Peak physical is where she was at in BG so no power up there. And Einherjar are not immortal, they died in PT and BG. Wereguild was paid for their deaths

Uh, not sure which two last books you read, but Murphy was far from "peak physical condition", after the mauling she got from Nicodemus. Einherjar are immortal in the sense that they don't age anymore. Not immortal in the sense that they can't die again. Well, it seems, in the Dresden-verse. No guarantees that they are not able to come back again and again, like in the Magnus Chase books from Rick Riordan. We have no absolute certainty yet on how they function in the Dresden-verse.

Einherjars have no powers, they are just kick ass warriors, but the giant had no problem with them, come to think of it, Lara had no problem with one of them either.

I'm pretty sure that she'll be restored to peak physical power as one of them and she also got some sweet immortality out of the deal. So, yeah, power-up achieved.
