Also keep in mind Harry was renting. Major remodeling would have been a no/no.

The last several books have been awesome, but there have been several apparent continuity errors, some minor, some glaring. For example, in Changes, Harry’s office moves to another floor. Someone somewhere said JB’s betas pointed this out to him, but it was left in intentionally by JB, that he told them it had to be this way for a reason. Why?!? What floor the office was on didn’t matter for the plot of the book, and it would have been an easy fix. This is admittedly an unimportant error, and something a lot of people wouldn't have noticed or cared about. Admittedly you could just shrug and assume his office moved at some point and wasn't mentioned. But why leave it in?!? Since there is a reason, that reason has to be important, and the reason sure wasn’t explained in Changes.

A far more major error is when everyone in SG agrees that Nicodemus was the original buyer for the shroud, and Marcone interfered. This is backwards. And repeated several times in SG, by both Harry and Anna Valmont. This is a HUGE error, imo. And not one the betas could possibly miss.

Let’s assume for the sake of argument this was a mistake by JB - how could that happen? JB has said he looks at wikipedia to find info on his prior books.

Per Wikipedia: “Dresden's onetime lover, Susan Rodriguez, escorts him to a high society art sales charity event run by Johnny Marcone, where the Shroud will likely be sold. The sale is interrupted by the Denarians, who seize the Shroud and kidnap Dresden.” (Emphasis added)

So if JB followed his stated procedure, he would have realized Nicodemus was not the original buyer, and this error wouldn't have happened. So for this to be an error, JB would have ignored his stated procedure, and each and every beta missed a huge error.  Seems highly unlikely.

So instead, I am betting this is evidence that things have been changed through - or because of - time travel. Thoughts?

I thought Jordan was the soul, Nicodemus’ minion.

Honestly I had hoped the reason for the delay in PT was cause JB was writing scripts for the tv show. Oh well.

Gotta wonder how Harry will react to the last several SW movies, too! Or maybe JB will avoid mentioning them to avoid that can o worms.

Given where supposed to be getting The Carpenters finding out about Molly's job and in some, (probably non-permanent), form Murphy's funeral, (assuming JB wasn't just being a massive troll), i think thats garunteed. Hell the first chapter thats allready been released is a big hit in the feels. Also hilarious.

Wait, Murphy's funeral?!? What??? And where has the “first chapter” been released.... you mean for Peace Talks?

So one of the very few things I remember from copyright law is that the Golden Rule is “Don’t mess with the mouse.” (Ie, don’t tick off Disney.). I wonder if there has been push back regarding Butters and the lightsaber?  Skin Game predated TFA... and back then no one was likely to object, but maybe it’s different now?

The tv show Supernatural is very reminscent of the Dresden files. And there are lots of seasons. Which are also crazy long.
