I think I glossed over Harry's semi-troubling chauvinism-disguised-as-chivalry the first time I read these.

Ashley Yeah, that's kind of a drag in the first few. It was one of the reasons I almost quit reading.

sj I know I got over it (as is evidenced by the fact that I still read them), but I'm trying to remember now if that's why I was kind of meh on the series until Summer Knight?

I might have to do some ratings adjustment.

sj I still want to eat at Mac's, though.


Ashley Speaking of Mac, now that I'm all caught up, I SO want to know what's up with him. I mean, seriously. WHAT IS UP WITH THAT GUY.

sj What IS up with him?! Every book that doesn't tell us more just pisses me off.

sj ps, when are you posting about GoF cos I need to finish my reread.


Ashley Well, Butcher hung a lampshade on it in the last book, so I think (hopefully) it might be coming up soon? Like in the next book, or the one after? (she said hopefully)


Ashley If Friday is the 8th, then Friday. Yes, Friday is the 8th. Good job, Ashley.

sj See, everyone is on his ass to write faster but I'm all "fuck, Jimmy - don't give me another Cold Days, yeah?"

I can finish by the 8th, no big. Cool.

sj Cos we're besties, so I call him Jimmy. Or something.


Ashley Yeah, I was expecting something different because of your review, but I ended up loving Cold Days. I think I liked it better than Ghost Story, actually, and I really liked that one. It just hit the spot.


Ashley Ha! Yeah, I don't know why I thought Skin Game was coming out this year. Really disappointing when I found out it doesn't even have a release date yet. Oh, well. I can wait.

sj I ALSO thought Skin Game was coming out this year, so don't feel bad.

Idk why Cold Days didn't work for me. I felt like it was just rushrushrush, but not much happened. It was very early Dresden, if that makes sense? Plus, I felt like the Molly shit was too telegraphed to come as a surprise. [sadface]

I think I wanted him to go somewhere I wasn't expecting, so when it turned out I'd guessed right, I was kinda pissed.

Ghost Story was kickass, though, and is one of my favourites of the series.

I am kinda tempted to skip this one, though, cos I remember almost giving up on the series here. :|
