is there a thread with updates on Skin Game?

Sound like the perfect order for the Winter queen to issue to her newly minted Knight.  Especially since we know there is gonna be a big theft in the next book. Find Mother Winter's staff (blackstaff?)  and steal it back.

Hello, new to this community , Huge fan of the books.

We know that one of Mother winter powers is the unraveling

what is Mother summer powers ?

I assume in the line of creation ???

If i take a quote from Summer Knight
"An unmaking, boy. I am the unmaker, the destroyer. It is what I am. Bound within
those threads is the power to undo any enchantment done. Touch the cloth to that which
must be undone. Unravel the threads. It will be so."

Isn't it a description of the forces of hell ? their goal to destroy and bring chaos ?
or i misunderstand the purpose of hell? (in DV/F)

hmm, now that Harry is a Winter Knight and Mab take him to the court we will get lots of insight on the courts specially winter court in Cold Days, how the powers and balances is work there, what the mothers can do, and their sphere of control.

Plus i wonder what is Summer Capital and if they have something like the well Winter has but Summer thing.

I think Mother Winter is just a  force of nature. Not passionate. Not calculating.  She just is.  She's Entropy.  Hell and its minions on the other hand do have a purpose, to be the antithesis of God.  They use chaos to unmake creation.  Mother Winter is chaos.

Was thinking about this the other day.  Lea says that she is tempted to end this "charade" (forget what she calls it) and tell Harry he killed himself.  Eternal Silence (iirc) is the one who says no you can't tell him (again paraphrasing).  Why would he do this?  What purpose would it serve?  I think it would make more sense if Eternal Silence was the proxy for Uriel here.  Since he's running the long con through the whole book.  Unless he has clued in Mab, Demonreach and others in on this journey of Harry's soul.

Eternal Silence was Demonreach's proxy not Uriel, Uriel's proxy was Capt Murphy.  Uriel wanted Harry to reach the answer on his own and Demonreach and Mab had an agreement with Uriel most likely to leave Harry alone until he could reach a WILLFUL decision of his own future.

5
Everyone's seemed to have a proxy Jack = Uriel, Lea = Mab, and Eternal Silence = Demonreach. So who's proxy was Inez?  I posit that she represented whoever it was that falsley whispered into Harry's ear (Lucifer in my opinion).

One thing that confuses me though. I understand that Harry's body was kept alive and maintained by Mab and Demonreach, but why exactly did his soul go back to it? Did Uriel send him back? or did Mab and Demonreach force it back somehow?


EDIT: And freaking Butters. Who the hell would of thought that Butters + Bob = BADASS

i believe at one point it was stated that Uriel was working with Mab to use harry as a pawn.  lea being mab's proxy and that silent statue as uriel's

No, Jim did not cheat. It was all set up several books ago. I do suspect Jim just thought of the consequences, though. I have been wondering why Thomas and Justine did not do something like this ever since White Knight, when Lara was surprised that Harry had not had sex with anyone since Susan, so he was still protected.

To hop on a little here it seems to me that this would absolutely work because if I understand correctly in TC Madeline Raith suggest that if Justine made a conscious choice to sleep with some else then that protection would wane hence allowing Madeline to feed on Justine.  There was no indication that the love would die just that last touch on Justine would not be from the person she loved. So if the last touch on her is not that of her love then Thomas should be able to touch her to even though that would put the protection back she would be temporarily "cleansed" of it.

If the shadow was not lasciel, I would be curious to know how it got into the church... Can fallen enter holy found with impunity?

I think its just straight Lucifer. The fact that he LIED seems significant. Most of the fallen that we have seen haven't used blatant lies.  Twisted truths maybe  but not out right falsehoods.  Prince of Lies and all.  Plus there are evil priests so I'm sure the devil can find his way into the church

I think someone in this forum had speculated before that maybe that Harry is some sort of Namer. The end of Ghost story, where Yuriel seems to be really upset when Harry shorten his name to Yuri but blink and said that calling him Mr. Sunshine is appropriate is quite a circumstancial evidence on that theory. What do you guys think?

the "El" Part of any angel name means God (i.e. MichaEL, GabriEL, RaphaEL, et.) so to remove that is highly disrespectfully bordering on blasphemous.  And I'm inclined to think angels take a dim view of blasphemy.

also Uriel = Light of God
Without the EL he would just be light and ymmv on this one but The Light is one of the the references to Lucifer so he would be really have a reason to demand his full name

So, which of the Fallen whispered in Harry's ear in the flashback from Changes? The Fallen looked like a shadow, so maybe Nicodemus?

Also, it was interesting that Mab lied to Harry. Harry always thought that the Fae were incapable of lying, but Uriel confirmed Mab's lie in the first of his seven words.


It's not a lie personally if you really believe what you are saying  regardless of what reality dictates. I think Mab is arrogant enough to believe her own words.

Harry is now antihero/magnificent bastard for what he did to murphy thomas and above all Molly.  Let the world burn indeed.  gahhhhdammit jim!!! awesome...

Oh and Rag Lady tactics pretty badass...

i discovered jim based on the show but i've tried to make up for it by reading from SF to WN (which was the most recent at the time) in marathon fashion.  Got through them all before Small Favor even came out.  Then I hooked two of my friends on the books like three-eye.

I'd just like to thank you all for your support.  Even selling one copy has made the effort worth it just knowing that one person is reading it.  Thank you again.  :D

For those not introduced to this story it is a book I wrote called Lost: Midnight Mist, these are the first four chapters.  The Dresden Files was definitely one of my inspirations.  The book is self-published so i have to do all of my own promotions but if you are interested in a new vampire novel or you like romance or even if you are just into some of that good old ultra-violence you can get that here. If you can support a member of the Dresden Universe even if its just to tell your Twilight addicted friends (awesome series btw).  Thanks to all.
