I would not want Mab to be in charge of my therapy. She is preparing him for his duties. Who is crazier Mab or Mav? Both crazy.


message 5: by Lys (new) - rated it 4 stars

Lys (lysrowan) I kinda like Mab. Maeve ... I'm not so sure. But I dig faeries.
I'm behind, as usual.

Mab has so serious power. She is crazy but sometimes she shows a tender side. Maeve is just crazy and wants her mother's position.

Dresden played Maeve so he better watch his back. What is Mab's agenda?


message 7: by Lys (new) - rated it 4 stars

Lys (lysrowan) Mab is in it for the long game. She's been setting this up for a while.
I'm only seven chapters in. :( darn research papers.

You're both further than me. I don't even know who Maeve is yet :( Darn work.

Lys (lysrowan) The Winter Lady. You know her.
She's nuts.

I like Harry but his attitude is aggrievating me. Why didn't he tell everyone he loved he was alive? He allowed them to suffer. Why? He is reminding me of Cat. He knows all and wants to protect everyone so he will do things by himself. How is it that Molly has grown exponentially under Lea's tutelage in Harry's absence? In fact all of Harry's friends have have grown and developed alliances since his "death". Is it because they didn't have Harry to save the day?

I think they also decided that there were things that were 'ok' that they wouldn't have before.
Desperation, as we saw with Harry, can be a powerful motivator ... even if the results aren't always good.

I'm still way behind. Sorry guys. :(

Did you watch that video I posted in the Ghost Story thread? He did the Toot voice. It was awesome.

I just did. Loved it! Sad to say but I didn't know what James Marsters looked like. Love his voice.

I think part of it with Molly is that Harry was being too nice to her. He was trying to teach her but never really prepared her for the "real" world. She learned so much more under Lea because Lea wasn't afraid of hurting her to get her point across.

True so was Harry really helping her or hurting her in the end?

Finished! Poor Molly! How is she going to handle that?

I don't like Murphy's reasoning at the end...did you notice he's calling her Karrin all the time now instead of Murphy? It still messes me up seeing her first name :)

I don't know how she is going to handle it. I guess we will see in the next book.
The Karrin thing threw me off too. Maybe that was Harry's way of signaling that he was thinking of her more than just a friend?
