Quote:
Harry Dresden forgot his own golden rule: magic - it can get a guy killed. Which didn't help when he clashed with unknown assailants intent on his murder. And though Harry's continued existence is now in some doubt, this doesn't mean Chicago's resident professional wizard can rest in peace. Trapped in a realm that is not quite here, yet not quite anywhere else, Harry learns that three of his loved ones are in mortal danger. Only by discovering his assailant's identity can he save his friends, bring criminal elements to justice, and move on before he becomes trapped in his own unending nightmare. It would just be easier if he knew which friends were at risk. And had a (working) crystal ball. And had access to his magic. Instead, he is unable to interact with the physical world - invisible and inaudible to all but the most specialized of magical talents. He's also far from the only silent presence roaming Chicago's alleys. Heck, he put some of them there himself. Only now, they're looking for payback.

Cool this means Morty is going to play a big part in the book. And maybe the Alphas too. They don't get enough face time I think.

That'd be something. They've been trying to get together since which book?

In a live chat on some website whose Link I believe is posted somehwere in the main page of this guild, Butcher mentioned (after getting annoyed at the people's anger at what happend to Harry) Terra West comming back and how that had been delayed by at least one book because of what happened at the end of the last one. Between that and the assurances that there'll be a three part ending, I really doubt Harry is going to die. smile

Firstly- YAY FOR EXCERPTS! I'm still waiting to get changes (damn the library and their lack of sufficient copies!)

Secondly- Supposedly, there are going to be 12 more books after changes :3 So I doubt we've seen the last of Harry. I'm of the opinion that Mad will try and get him on her side. Maybe bring him back from his non-existence/existence as one of her winter fae. Thats my personal opinion though :3 It would be exciting though...Harry as a fae...wonder if he'd be as pretty as Thomas ;P

That's a relief. ^_^ He does alot but he often gets the short end of the stick too much. Someone here mentioned that he's a tragic hero (forgot the username), I think that's an accurate description for him. It makes me wonder though, if Harry died (or rather, semi died) he seems to be in a purgatory like place. I wonder where he thinks he'll end up once he finishes his unfinished business?

I think Harry would have to be at a dead end again if he was brought back as the winter knight again. He only did it the first time because he was at the end of his rope. If he has a choice though, I can't really see him doing it. But if he did and he does end up as pretty as Thomas, we all know Harry will never let him hear the end of it. xd

If Harry has been released from Mab's control, she's going to turn Thomas like she mentioned she would. That would be interesting.

The hint was in Changes. She said, "You're not the only mortal I have my eyes on. Perhaps your brother, I could give him the ability to be with the one he loves" (Loose translation). It's before he makes the sacrifice on the Stone Table.

Don't forget, there's a short story, 30 minutes after changes coming out in "Side Jobs" from Murphy's perspective. We'll see what happens there.

To those who are worried about Harry getting killed off, there's still 12 more books to be released, and then a 3 part apocalyptic ending. Harry's still got a few more years left in him.
