Harry is now going to the Neverever

Can't wait!!

ps I love Harry's dry humor.

Spoiler:

My office is in a building in midtown Chicago. It's an older building, and not in the best of shape, especially since there was that problem with the elevator last year. I don't care what anyone says, that wasn't my fault.

Ofcourse you'll only get this if you know about the problems with Wizards and electronics.

Does his 'snarkyness' come through in the Dutch translation?

Isn't the mother's dying curse/magic providing protection to the child from a mortal enemy motif a bit Harry Potterish?

And will Harry and Murphy just get it on already!

Hmmm....I don't really think that Jim Butcher was copying anything from J.K. Rowling (the name Harry included). Except for a few accidental collisions the Dresdenverse and the Potterverse (I'm re-reading the 7 Potter novels right now) are, IMHO, quite different.

(the sudden appearance of Elaine)

I had feeling it was going to happen sooner or later, in one way or another...

Spoiler:

(either alive, dying or dead)

.

Spoiler:

I do not trust her in the slightest, bound or not bound.

I really like the set of of this story, although it would be nice if Harry could at least get a night's sleep, some real food and shower.

I love, love, loved the scene with Morgan.

Spoiler:

I could just see the look of shock on his face when Harry figured out that Morgan was trying to set him up.

I do not, however, believe that Elaine could escape the apartment unnoticed, even with the veil. Of course, Mister's prancing in at that time helped.

Hmmmm....

Can you imagine being greeted by a 30 lb panther-like head butt to the knees? Boss currently smacks my 85 lbs golden retrievers around (who are very tolerant of his ankle bites).

BTW, my nick is the name of my old psychotic tortishell kitteh that has since passed on. She owned everything and she hated everyone, but me. She lived 15 yrs and everyone in my family has a story about how she drew blood from them.

....and I love Mouse!
