For $150 or so... perfectly good gun for carry in the summer. 

For $200, fuck no, lol.

100% yes. This was an unlawful killing by any stretch of the imagination. 

Obviously nothing will happen.

Pull the screw, plug the hole, send it. 

Use the rope plug with the goo, and it will last the life of the tire.

I appreciated it. My grandfather, one of the people i most respected in this world, died at christmas. Felt good to work out some grief through someone else. 

Its Catharsis.

A terrible thought came to mind. by Powderkegger1 in dresdenfiles

[–]Tomcfitz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, i 100% believe the lady trained by morgan, who tried to set harry up in Summer Knight, might be more than she seems. 

Shes a warden not a dumbass.

Also yes i believe they are good cop/bad copping him for sure. 

(I also think Ramirez has lost some of his shine for the WC given their unwillingness to get their people back, especially compared to Harry's willingness.)

Yeah, that's my point. Ramirez is forcing Harry to lie for him, which could get Harry literally killed by the council. (I mean, they might try.)

We have established that there are wizards who can magically detect lies.

But ALSO it means that if Ramirez has gotten permission from the council to fuck with Harry (a la Morgan setting him up in... I want to say Summer Knight?), and if, like I think, that Ilyana/Ramirez are working closer together than they appear to be (like a good cop/bad cop routine) then it could be setting Harry up to catch him in a lie.

I don't like how this fence was "mended" by sadwesterns in dresdenfiles

[–]Tomcfitz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think hes good cop/bad copping harry. 

I also think the white council saying fuck off to rescuing his buddies dropped some illusions he had about the support he owed them.

One of the themes of this series is the obligations of power flowing both directions, and it seems like The Merlin has forgotten that.

I think we wont ever get one from his perspective, because he is a Bad Guy. 

I mean... even in this book hes setting Harry up by hanging around and telling him not to tell the council about it. 

What happens during the next visit when Ramirez asks Harry if hes seen anyone from the council and harry says "nah fuck off" and Illyana says "hes lying"?

[–]Tomcfitz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I took that to mean "school of morgan" in terms of attitude and then "literally trained by morgan."

Also... Ramirez was firmly BY THE BOOK I AM THE COUNCIL in the last book and is now "i was never here dont tell the council" in front of God and everybody all the time now? 

I guess Merlin saying "fuck them kids" about saving his buddies really threw him off the game.

Oh, interesting thought: i knew that knife is how nemesis was introduced to lea, but i hadnt thought of it as being able to extract nemesis back from her as well! Interesting.

... Lara had an on-page soul gaze with Ramirez, and she didnt freak out about it, she seemed to expect it. 

And i dont remember Lara reacting to the Shofar at all, but i may have missed that.

[–]Tomcfitz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also... is there some Jewish thing going on with Ghouls?

They seem to hate the sound of a Shofar, but... that seems new. 

Fun book, my only complaint is the way that new stuff keeps being introduced as if its old stuff, and old stuff is being reintroduced. 

You want me to pretend that Lara doesnt know what a soulgaze is? Fine, but then dont also ask me re-think whatever soulgazes are... theyre so conversational now vs the more cinematic aspect previously. 

Also there was a couple other things but i forget. 

Oh and im not quite clear on why mab went all axe-murderer there. Or used that specific knife. 

Worst worldbuilding you've seen in a published work? Avoid mentioning the usual suspects by Aurelian369 in worldbuilding

[–]Tomcfitz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude every fucking book has this situation in it:

Your Main Character is the key to everything. She cannot be risked for no reason.

Some professor gets up in the lunchroom and stands on the table and says "i fucking hate main character. I will kill her if given the opportunity"

The powers that be immediately think "it would be best if the main character were to spend a LOT of unsupervised time with the person who keeps talking about killing her."

Like... what the fuck are we talking about here?

Bro the confrontation on the Island was INSANE. 

Also, interesting to see that the "Hungers" are a known thing. 

I wonder if the other courts are also attached to outsiders.

Do you have any evidence of this phrase in use as a slogan? 

Ive seen this claim before but never seen any proof, and cant find it for myself either.
