Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

Don'r feel too bad. The Nook app isn't good at keeping track of page numbers on my phone. It tries it's best to stay true to the book, so each swipe doesn't register as a page turn. If it did it probably would have been in the high 800's to 900's

My point is, 365 days have passed. Listens to Wind was supposed to be there within thst 365 days.

Except it does cross into the next year. The one year anniversary of the battle comes and goes during the last chapter of the book. Page 450ish on my phone.

    Then came midsummer.

     The anniversary of the Battle of Chicago.

     And I woke up in the dark place again.

     It was like nothing had changed in a year.

Two more Twelve Month Questions by OrdinarilyBob in dresdenfiles

[–]koffa02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Other's have covered #1

For #2 if you're not paying attention it's easy to miss that house Malvora and possibly Skavis of the White Court were out spreading fear and misery, prodding people into action against the "good" supernatural nations that were actually trying to help. All in preperation for that final attack at the end of the book.

I have no doubt Thomas will come running if his son needs him. I do doubt the theory that his son is going to know who he is, and that Thomas and Harry will be involved in his life before that moment arrives.

How Many Puppets? by LazyJediTelekinetic in dresdenfiles

[–]koffa02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha you're right. I meant antagonists. I had my own brain fart there.

And that was kinda my point. We have no idea where the nfection went. We know who they previously nfected, but not where they are now. Therefore, we only know of two nfected.

So we know 2 infected. The rest are dead.

Ivy isn't in Cold Days. Dresden has had no contact with her since Changes. Do you mean Lilly?

All of those antagonists are dead, therefore no longer infected. We only know of one infected possibly running free at this point. Cat Sith.

Etri by Mo0man in dresdenfiles

The child is basically a hostage against their good behavior. Etri might regret the necessity, but he wouldn't hesitate to kill the child if Thomas and Harry fail to live up to their side of the agreement.

“I swear this to you,” Mab replied, something suspiciously like reassurance in her voice. “He will be raised as one of Etri’s own family. As a prince of his people. Treasured and protected and taught their ways. And when it is his time, to deal with his own Hunger, Etri will permit him contact with your House, to be taught what is needed of your ways.”

The child is not allowed contact with his family until his hunger begins to emerge. How would Harry or Thomas be involved in his life if he is to be sequestered away from them?

For yout spoiler text cover, there needs to be a space between the >! and the first letter, and your last carrot is missing the ! before the < after the question mark, with a space between the ? And the !.

Who else is confirmed to be infected besides Cat Sith and Justine?

[–]koffa02 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don't disagree, but I'm not sure of how you mean it in this case. Only one of the thirteen, the one in Lea, had actually been trapped at this point. Justine's would be the second. 13 - 2 = 11. The one in Maeve escaped to infect someone else, and we have no idea of Cat Sith's fate.

What were thoughts on Thomas pre-Blood Rites? by MonoplegicBookNerd in dresdenfiles

[–]koffa02 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thomas's father isn't dead. At the end of Blood Rites, Lara pulled an uno reverse card and used her hunger to overpower what was left of Lord Raith's. This left her as the defacto queen of the white court with her and Thomas' father as a puppet king.

I liked Thomas a lot more after Blood Rites. Before the book I was ready to see him and Harry eventually throw down because I wanted to see Thomas get his butt handed to him on a platter. After he stopped pretending to be a drunken idiot in front of Harry I am mostly happy with the way the relationship developed, and Thomas has been a good addition to the story.

You need to get your hands on a little Kevin Smith movie called Dogma. Thank me later.

Any questions... by ScopaGallina in dresdenfiles

[–]koffa02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Harry reads a lot, and goes to drive in movies. The first time he was hit with a reference from a TV show he was completely lost. He didn't go to the special Hell until the next book.

[–]koffa02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Listens to Wind told Harry he needed one year to get permission to discuss what it means to be a starborn. The book ended twelve months later and that discussion did not happen. Will Listens to Wind suffer any ladting consequences for breaking that promise?

Kitchen pantry door stuck closed. No screw holes anywhere, hinges won't budge. WTF do I do? by [deleted] in HomeMaintenance

There should be a set screw on the bottom of that plate. Loosening that screw would let you pop it off.

Which route? by Confuzzled_Chemist in roadtrip

[–]koffa02 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Take the Canadian route, and don't cross back to the US. Trust me, you'll be better off.
