Just popping in briefly
I am hooooome and have a to-do list as long as my arm, so what am I doing instead? Reading the latest Dresden Files chapter (and the last preview chapter before the book comes out on the 26th - though apparently there will be early copies available at the San Diego Comicon, for those of you in the area!).
Anyway, regarding Chapter 5:
WHAT.
WHAT.
WHAT.
Bob! WHAT. WHAAAAAAT.
Okay, let's think this through. Harry's control over Bob (and presumably his mellowing influence on Bob's personality) would have ended when he died, which is something I really hadn't thought about. And Bob is obviously WAAAAYYYY more powerful on the spirit plane than in the mortal world (which again, I hadn't thought about). So, is Bob working for someone else now? Or is he actually a free agent, and we're finally seeing the "real" Bob? I am split about 50/50 here ... I can see it going either way, with both being equally plausible.
I can imagine Jim Butcher chortling evilly behind his hand about this, because IT ALL MAKES PERFECT SENSE and it is SO EVIL (at the very least, I was expecting Bob to be a friend/ally in this book) and it makes Harry's life infinitely more complicated and I did not see it coming AT ALL.
New book nowwwwwww~!
