Cinder Spires Spoilers / Re: Alex's anger at Abigail
« on: June 04, 2025, 01:09:55 AM »
I think the anger was also due to Abigail intentionally putting Grimm into harms way and saving Alex instead.

Abigail didn't ask Grimm to be Alex's second (which is what put him in harm's way). Alex did that himself.

DF Spoilers / Re: RNT: What is The Enemy's Plan in Storm Front?

You have to think that third eye being distributed everywhere would have helped the Fomor's campaign.

Specifically: What is Nemesis' Plan in Storm Front?

While reading SF, there's no real indication that anything deeper is happening.  It just seems like the Shadowman found some old books and learned some intro black magic and used it to make Three-Eye.

Yet in later books we find out that there's a bigger force moving behind all of this.  Assume for the moment that Harry doesn't stop Victor.  What does this accomplish for Nemesis'  What's their end goal in "helping" the Shadowman here?

DF Spoilers / Re: Twelve Months Timeline Comparisons

I wonder what the desire to have the audiobook release on the same date as the book does to the editorial timeline. Can't record it before you have the copy finalized.

Cinder Spires Spoilers / Alex's anger at Abigail
« on: May 13, 2025, 02:20:03 AM »
On the one hand, you can understand Alex's wounded pride at having his girlfriend poison him because she didn't think he could win the duel.  On the other hand, there's the knowledge that the Spirearch specifically ordered by Abigail and Grimm to prevent Alex from being killed, even to Grimm sacrificing his own life to protect Alex.

Sadly it seems out of character for Addison to tell Alex in the next book (to be finished in 2033) to get his head out of his fundament and marry the woman.

Could it be worse than the White Council? I seem to remember Rashid telling Harry he has no idea what a favor Rachid did for him vouching that he was still alive and filling out all those forms,to prove it.. ::)

Of course it's worse, it's Mab. The process is sharply pointed and makes your blood run cold.

You do not want to see the reimbursement forms required by the Winter Court accounting department.


Mab may have to have it pointed out to her, but I think she will see the logic of the Winter Knight being more effective if he is not having to worry about some basic necessities. That being said, in order to keep Harry on a leash, I can see her working on a requisition format where he has to ask for what he needs.

Where we are in the series should also effect how strapped Harry is for cash. He's going to have a lot bigger fish to fry and (narratively speaking) having to run back down to put quarters in the meter or have the Blue Beetle towed becomes more distracting than amusing.

Mab's baby daddy is Mozart.

And no, I'm not going to suggest that Salieri is Cowl.

Leave it in his jeans while doing the laundry and let the spin charge it?

Or not, what we don't know is how someone becomes infested in the first place.  Can for example Nemesis just jump into anyone's brain and install an Outsider lieutenant?  Or does the would be host have to agree to it? 

I don't see Lea agreeing to host Nemesis. Maeve, on the other hand ...

Is it possible that Mab is Lara's mother? 

Harry would have noticed Mab's picture in Lord Raith's Gallery Of Baby Mamas.

DF Spoilers / Re: Molly’s trial… what if…
« on: February 14, 2025, 02:40:04 AM »
Harry had played it cool and not shamed the Merlin.  We all saw the various windows in Harry’s soulgaze of Molly.  Suppose the Merlin imposed the Doom of Damocles on Molly but assigned her apprenticeship to Eb… or LtW instead of Harry.  Would she be the Warden image we saw.  More capable in battle because her Master was less gentle with her in training?

Were the various windows images of possible Mollys exclusive of each other or various phases of the single Molly which she'll go through in her life?

Didn't Jim say there'd be no more Dresden tykes? Not that he couldn't change his mind.

Don't- Use the name to publish your own story that would otherwise never get greenlit because you're a talentless hack and you know it, and then attack fans of the series on social media because they don't like it.

Oh come on, everyone knows Tolkien would be nothing without Peter Jackson and crew rewriting him.

Yeah, I don't think Harry's height is a really big issue as long as he is at least six-four or five, since he'd be seen as above average in height.  My main reason for that is though Jim keeps saying Harry is six foot nine, he writes him like he is a much shorter guy of maybe six foot three or even a little shorter.

Harry's height is sort of like the inverse of Nero Wolfe's weight. Rex Stout wrote Wolfe as though his weight is this major issue. But Wolf is 270 lbs on a 5'11" frame, which isn't healthy but isn't as life constraining as depicted.
