Sure, we can make some guesses, but Thomas ain’t a’talkin’.

Hmmm, we’re in the dark about why all these different groups are watching Justine. If the Black Knights carry a coin with a fallen angel trapped within it, why wouldn’t the White Knights carry swords with angels inside them? He tells her the truth, and she knows she’s loved.Įbenezar’s craziness seems to have infected the other Wardens as well. Harry does not pull his punches with Maggie. There are scenes in here that provide a lot of back history on Harry’s childhood. And Harry has his own thoughts on this! I mean, seriously, after what happened in Changes, 12, Ebenezar really thinks Maggie is safer elsewhere? Okay, sure the Carpenters, but as Harry notes: It’s not where her dad lives.

He seems to have forgotten what happened to his daughter and thinks Harry should dump Maggie elsewhere. Hoo, boy…Ebenezar is off his rocker in this one. We also discover how many favors Marcone is owed. Peace Talks is a set-up for Battle Ground, ensuring we understand how precarious Harry’s position is and how essential it is that he survives. Where is that Bio-Freeze? And it’s just nasty. The lack of home the need for family the hatred of the Senior Council for Harry Mab’s hope of the mantle making Harry meaner, colder, darker, and more vicious Ebenezar’s obsessive hatred for vampires and, Thomas’ crazy assassination attempt all come through first person protagonist point-of-view from Harry’s perspective. It’s vicious, primal, primitive, and I swear I want to rub Bio-Freeze in everywhere by the time I’m done reading. That Winter Knight mantle certainly has upped the tension and pressure in the Dresden Files. Sixteenth in The Dresden Files paranormal fantasy series set in Chicago and revolving around Harry Dresden, an independent-minded wizard who fights for justice.
