Whew! It's.. pretty awesome. But like, awesome in a kinda guilty pleasure way. Still. Awesome.

(Changes, especially. Awesome.)

(Oh, and of course, Zombie T-Rex is so awesome that... I need to stop saying awesome.)


The only problem is that there's a bunch of books, and pretty much EVERYTHING becomes a Chekhov's Gun of some sort. There are STILL a couple of things I don't get. Like, who fixed Little Chicago? Who trashed Harry's car back in... god, I don't even remember, I just remember someone went to town on Harry's car with a bat.

In Changes, who ordered an assasination on Harry while looking like Susan? This may have been answered- Changes got pretty dense towards the end. The thing that was weird about that was that Harry said it was pretty obvious the assassination would fail, so...


Then there are of course a few of the compulsory "Why don't you just ASK the Mysterious Mentor Figure what he meant?!" I mean, it's pretty obvious Gatekeeper knows something about Harry, Harry was TOLD he had some power over Outsiders regarding his birth, on and on, so forth. This is the kind of thing a person would try to find out more about, while a character just sort of goes, "Oh, ok, I guess I'll find out when it's time." Psh.


Last minor nitpick- I miss detective-Harry. He's more a kind of action hero savior, if a snarky one. And that's cool! Soldier in a war, etc, bigger fish to fry than finding trinkets. But when Harry subcontracted work to whatshisname in Turn Coat, that character was awesome.

Oh, LAST last minor nitpick- Harry had a sword that he sometimes used- helped him with Earth magic, I think. Whatever happened to that?




"Likest thou jelly within thy doughnut?"
"Nay, but prithee, with sprinkles 'pon it, and frosting of white."

Oh, and, of course, the Frozen Turkey Incident.
I amuse myself.

It's DISCUSSION. I figured that'd be obvious. - 13/05/2010 06:34:17 PM 788 Views
