Book 19 rumor thread

So, does the Secret Service need to keep more eyes on Mel Gibson?

People don't recognise Waiting for the Galactic Bus quotes these days? O tempora o mores.

That is expected. As Mab's hitman, he needs to cover more ground than Chicago and the US.

A bigger worldview would be nice, but I get the feeling that Harry will still be localized to the Chicago area for the main stories. Maybe Mab can cook something up that will allow him to travel by air.

Pretty unnecessary for him; he's still got Margaret's knowledge of the Ways.

And by the way, I just realized that Mother Summer tells Harry that the price for seeing the Outer Gates was that he may never know another peaceful night's sleep, the same price Lea put on Margaret's gem. Hmm.

[wardenferry419]

Good catch about the night's sleep. Hadn't thought of that.

[Arjan]

He does not. Mab probably has it.

IIRC the price was different for everybody and Lea did not predict only give an example.

[Kindler]

Yes he does. It was returned to him in Cold Days; Harry remarks that it's the one piece of magical equipment he has left.

Chapter Two, page 17 on Nook:

The other one held my mother's amulet.
It was a simple silver pentacle, a battered five-pointed star bound within a circle, on a simple silver chain. The pentacle's center was filled with a small red stone, cut to size. I'd once fastened the gem into place with hot glue. Apparently Mab had sent it to a genuine jeweler to attach it with something more solid. I touched the stone gingerly, and could instantly sense the energy within it, the psychic journal of my late mother's travels.

IIRC the price was different for everybody and Lea did not predict only give an example.

Yes, the price was different for everybody, and Lea was giving an example, but it's interesting nonetheless that both used the same example.

Sorry Neurovore, my pop culture aptitude is lacking. I blame social media.

I blame living in Europe, almost never watching television anyway and only listening to classical music. I read a lot of books though.

[wardenferry419]

Does Guns and Roses count as classical music? I know it is considered classic rock, to my chagrin.

Wait and see if people are still listening to it in a hundred years or so. 

[wardenferry419]

If not, it will be a sad world. Maybe my future great grandchild can tell my ashes.

[Talby16]

I wonder if we will be explicitly told what Harry's price is or if we will have to infer it from what does/doesn't happen in the stories.

[wardenferry419]

The price is that he never gets laid again.

[Arjan]

The price is that he never gets laid again.

And only gets offers from beings who want to eat him.
