Hi people!
I was planning to stay away of the forum until I finished 12M and I only read 5 chapters so far, but I realized I need to do a post before continuing reading. I know there is a 12M thread but I cannot go near it until I finished the book and if I won't say a few things now I may forgot or change my mind. I won't do this for other chapters, but I've missed so much to talk to you about a new Dresden book...

So, introduction over, here I go.

I am liking the book so far. Specific comments, minor and major in no clear order.

1) Harry t-shirt for his first date is not the best. It says "whine later, suck it up now". I understand the meaning and why Harry likes it but when you go to a date with a vampire...really, Harry? suck it up now? I know the whampires do not use her fangs as traditional vampires, but they still suck your lifeforce. So, again, really Harry?

2) Harry may not be angry at the citizens that "do not look friendly" at him but I am. Harry did and keeps doing so much for them. They should be his people now, his support. Thinking on it, I think angry is little. I am truly mad.

3) I know Marcone must be doing a lot for the city, I am surprised that Harry has not mentioned it yet.

4) Where is Mister?

5) Harry says Lara is in a lot of pictures on internet and we know she was in the porn industry, so I am wondering how this is going to work for a slow-aging vampire. I mean, we know stars use surgery and make-up and things like that but people is going to begin noticing she is not aging. Not for now but I wonder if she has a plan for the future.

6) I am so glad Bob is with Harry.

7) This comment and the next ones are the ones I really wanted to post before keep reading. I liked Bear already but keep reading at your own risk
Fitz! Those who read my posts perhaps remember that I always liked him. And I am delighted to see he is the new apprentice! I think he is going to be good for Harry and I can see him becoming his son-in-law in the future or, much more probable, Molly's husband (when she stops being the WL, which I am convinced will happen sooner or later. Later being the BAT, of course).

Well, that is. I wanted to post that before Fitz is killed in the next chapter or he contacts Murphy and things become different. If you read this, thank you so much for your patience and see you later!

I don't knoe if the Svartelves know about Nemesis, but even so, Thomas acted on his own free will. He was deceived, but he made the choice. So in my opinion, it won't change a lot.

Here you have: https://www.reddit.com/r/cinderspires/comments/1qdv4rk/jim_butcher_drops_the_title_of_the_next_cinder/

I posted the news about CS in that subforum. A few comments about what he said:

1) Apparently, we will have to wait to the first chapter of MM to truly learn about what being an outsider means.
2) He repeated that 12 months was not planned, and he said it was very difficult to write it, because it deals with pain and growing.
3) Harry does not think in Bonnie as his real daughter yet, mainly because she has not a true personality.
4) He is still planning 25 DF books in total, with the BAT
5) and he hinted something about Thomas, so perhaps 12M gives us something.

Congratulations 

thanks!

Ah but he could be a changeling. Not  aware, of course, but a changeling is fair game for fey. They could have enthralled him to clean for you! I would not complain. Feed him pizza and something with good ingredients and be grateful. The universe is finally helping you and your patience has been rewarded, now stop worrying and enjoy it 

PS: Be wary of any gift he gives you though.

I'm like... 90% certain that Lea was there from the beginning, yeah.
Margaret is the one who made the "fairy godmother bargain" after all... before Harry's birth!

What's more, I'm betting that (even still in the womb) Harry was protected by that bargain; in particular, I think Harry was "un-findable" (as Morgan was, via Summer's protection in Turn Coat).  And that if Harry was... so was Margaret.  When Harry was born, the protection followed him, and no longer covered Margaret... and Raith's Entropy-Curse struck the now-findable Margaret, causing "death in childbirth" (the exact details of which we don't actually know).

Yes, that is why the entropy course hit her only when Harry was not inside her. I know that but I meant, in practice. Was Lea actually taking care of baby Harry or just did a magical ward like Harry Potter when he is at his home.

Bad Alias, I do not remember that. Oh well, don't worry. I am sure there are many more interesting questions, it is just that one always intrigued me. Anyways, have fun in the convention and please, tell us what happens. Thank you!

Well, to be honest, some people do have early release copies. I am not one of them.
