I reread Changes...i'm pretty proud of Harry, he finally went through some of the character development I always hoped he would go through.

I just finished Small Favor. Has the Satan thing at the end of the book been mentioned yet? Cause it sounds like a very interesting direction for the books to take.
On another topic, do you think there's enough matter to make book-specific pages?

[up][up] I think there is, but the problem is figuring out which tropes are spesific to which books or the series as a whole. If you think about it, the books mostly follow the same types of events and tropes. He has become a better writter over time and the spesifics change, but he has a literal formual (posted on his website) that he follows for each book.

Dude indeed. On the bright side, you don't have all that much of a wait until the continuation. 26th of July... almost there.

Now, I've got Side Jobs, all of Codex Alera and A Wise Man's Fear to keep me warm till July, but I think I'll take a break from reading for a while. It's surprising how Butcher emotionally tosses you like a ragdoll throughout Changes.

You know speaking of Changes, do we have a trope for when a character starts to loose all the cool stuff they have acquired over the series because shit has just hit the fan?

[up]Trauma Conga Line seems pretty close to it, and given that Changes is already there...

I'm curious how the Merlin would react when (if?) Harry comes back to life. I mean, he did effectively just end the war on their behalf.

Spooky.

That whole issue, I suppose, would make for some real nice Remember When You Blew Up a Sun? situations. As if the Zombie T. rex and Dunut Incidents weren't enough...

That'd be... Small Favor, yeah? That's probably my favorite book of the series, although I can't quite put my finger on why. Probably on account of my weak spot for the Carpenter Family. Also, the whole horror movie bit helps waii

Proven Guilty. Small Favor was Mab and Denarians.

Why do I never remember the title of the non-undead-themed books? Well, yes, Proven Guilty. My favorite book in the series... despite not remembering it's name. Huzzah.

Question: why exactly was Titania after Harry in Small Favor? Just belated revenge?

It's been awhile since I read it, but I don't think it was a personal vendetta. I'm pretty sure it was just because Harry was working for Mab in that book, so she's against him by default.

I finished reading Side Jobs yesterday. I think it's only come out here in the last fortnight. It was quite good.

Oh So that's why E Gruff bailed after the Donut Incident?

[up] I'm in the middle of Codex Alera in the wait for Ghost Story. I've also got A Wise Man's Fear and some Manfredi in the meantime.
