    Dresden Files Books newbie Discussion

    I agree that in order is best. However, I do suppose that you could read them out of order. However, there is significant backstory that will be missing if you do that will leave you puzzled and wondering what in the world was that all about. Take the leap and buy the back issues as used...

    [Dresden] "Ghost Story" March 2011

    Absolutely! Mister is a character that knows how to survive and return to the scene of the food dish. I have complete confidence in Mr. Butcher to provide for this nifty cat. The foo will of course be on scene somewhere. He may even hit the shan. :eek:

    All I can say is that I'm buyin' it. I have read a couple, but I absolutely have to have the complete up to date set. Yippee! :D

    The Codex Alera

    One of the things that I regretted was the ... The battle scenes were edge of chair stuff and the losses and survivals were just awesome. This was a fun series.

    The Codex Alera

    I would be surprised if JB returns to this universe. The story arc indicated that the battle for what was the canim continent will not occur for two hundred years. Tavi will be dead by that time as will his very interesting wife. With the loss of Alera, I am not sure just how new fury...

    [Dresden] "Changes" due out April 2010

    I do think that your response is just short of hilarious. snicker The title speaks for itself. It also seems highly appropriate in light of what happened in the last book. I just buy the author and I do not really care about titles. I just like a title that makes sense. ergo :)

    The Codex Alera

    Actually, Octavian is the Emporer's grandson. Septimus was his father. Yes, I have found this series to be interesting in how JB has demonstrated his ability to create a very fascinating world and an interesting magic system. I have not read Princep's Fury as it is not available in...

    new book

    I noted that the other wizards who realized what Harry had accomplished on that island were pretty astonished that he was able to do it without getting fragged. It was apparent that even the Gatekeeper had attempted something with the island and had not succeeded. He also indicated that Harry...

    Turn Coat Read. *SPOILERS!*

    The Gatekeeper's statement that the island was holding a grudge against him suggests that he tried to make the island a sanctuary and he failed. It could be something else, of course. I see no connection between that statement and Harry's mother. The Gatekeeper clearly has some sort of...

    Wild speculation thread* Possible spoilers*

    This a post having read TurnCoat. I think that Harry will learn more about the use of soul power. The skinwalker indicated that Harry's present level of skill was liimited by his lack of faith. I also expect to see some forward movement about the disposition of the swords in Harry's care. I...

    Turn Coat Read. *SPOILERS!*

    I had noticed that several posters had lamented over Harry's lack of thinking ahead from how the series began. I suggest that his foresight in nailing the traitor was an excellent case of thinking ahead. I also noted that Mouse, a foo dog, had not been known by the WC as being a part of...

    Lonely Dresden(spoilers)?

    I am very sure, apart from his hormones, that Harry does not even want to think about Lara as anything other than as temporary a bed partner as possible. I, OTOH, do not believe for a heartbeat that Harry would go for it on his own. :eek: It does seem that the relationship with Elaine is...

    Lonely Dresden(spoilers)?

    Molly is only 15 years plus or minus younger than Harry. She will live a long, long time. That amount of difference is nothing like the 200 year difference between Ana and Harry. I was sad to learn about Ana and what was done to her. She does not love Harry or, at least, will not allow...

    Turn Coat Read. *SPOILERS!*

    I found the political discussion between Harry and Luccio about the amorality of the White Council with regard to its laws to be very interesting and well thought out. It is a takeoff on the power corrupts idea and power used to control normal humans. Very good. If the powers that be are not...

    Thank you. I have noticed that the spoiler tags work differently here.

    Lonely Dresden(spoilers)?

    I love spoilers, but I cannot read yours. :confused: As a rereader, I think that spoilers add to my enjoyment of the book. I can spend more time looking at other details. :) Could you try again?

    Yep, a 200 pound "mouise" is not one to mess with. He is very durable. He has suffered bumps and bruises that would have incapacited if not killed and recovered very quickly. Yes, special, indeed. Yes, it was fatum indeed.

    Dresden Files Books newbie Discussion

    Yes, JB is leaving loose threads from each of his books. That is why I suppose it is a series and not a one off story complete in one book. Equally, yes, JB did not have a complete story arc in mind when he started the series. Though he may have a "sort of" ending in mind when he started...

    Just over a week!

    Typically, releases in the UK come after the initial release in the US. If JB's publisher has a printing outlet in the UK, then it may be closer to the same date as the US. They also tend to have different cover art. For iinstance Sweet did most if not all of the covers for Robert Jordan's...

    Wild speculation thread* Possible spoilers*

    While there was a lot of physical contact between Harry and Mouse, I do not think that the fragment of Lasciel could transfer herself to another being. Especially if that being was non-human. I wonder if there is still a fragment left of the fragment, however. Others think that she is totally...
