That link is AWESOME. :D And I am trying very, very hard not to think about how long it is 'til the next book.
But I gotta admit, it amuses me that you love Thomas, because he's such an obvious fangirl bait sort of char that I'd half expect you to be turned off him. ...actually I have yet to meet a single female fan who doesn't like Thomas; Jim Butcher wrote an incubus so good that even all of us in real life fall for him! XD
Hee! There is actually one person I know of on my flist who really doesn't like Thomas, so it's possible. :D But, yeah, given the EVER-INCREASING number of times that I have actually gone for the fangirl-bait character (Dean, Zuko ... Haplo ...), maybe I should stop claiming that I don't like that sort. XD
I actually didn't like Thomas at first ... for a book or two, anyway. Then the big reveal happened, and I found myself falling for him like the proverbial ton of bricks, and now I'm pretty sure that the Thomas scenes are my very favorites. Thomaaaaaas! :D He wasn't really in Turn Coat much because of the whole ... tortured-by-the-skinwalker thing, and then he and Harry were tragically on the outs, so going back to the earlier books, I'm falling in love all over again with his snark and his protective-big-brother thing, even when Little Brother had no idea what Thomas was up to. Oh, Thomas. I will never not love a character in full-on protective mode.
(The fact that I didn't like Thomas in the very beginning is making it very interesting, actually, going back and re-reading the first couple of books in which he appears, because I vaguely remember not liking him then, but I adore him NOW, so it's a weird sort of cognitive dissonance ... almost like reading those scenes for the first time ...)
