Maybe it was before the sanctum invocation? When he went to do it, he had returned several times. Cannoli Send a noteboard - 10/06/2014 07:10:20 PM

But he does callbacks so he could have done one there, witness all the canon-mess callbacks to him and Thomas building on the isle and having fraternal funtime in between Turncoat (when Harry gets the island) and Changes, during which time it is at least strongly implied he and Thomas have barely spoken and Thomas is being an inhuman asshole.
And Michael gave the reason for that in this book - the island is an oppressive presence that deters other people from going back. Harry notes in spite of that, Thomas and Murphy did actually visit him there a couple of times, so it's actually completely the opposite implication.

I was referring to their carpentry efforts discussed in Cold Days. In Cold Days, Harry mentions building the dock along with Thomas, on weekends when the two of them would come to the island and work on it, prior to when he was shot at the end of Changes. But Harry doesn't claim the island as his sanctum until the events of Turn Coat, and by that point Thomas has been captured and tortured by the naagloshii. He mentions in Changes that after they got Thomas back, he's only seen him for "two, maybe three minutes" since then. So at what point did they get together to build the dock and start repairs on other parts of the island?


You're right though. That doesn't make a lot of sense otherwise. Even the idea that they built the dock and so forth is a bit strange at that point. I mean, why would they, on the basis of a hunch that it would be important to Harry's future?

Maybe it refers to him attempting to bring the Fomor to the table? - 08/06/2014 12:44:56 AM 1012 Views

It pretty much has to be since that isn't actually directly contradicted like the alternative. - 11/06/2014 02:25:38 AM 994 Views
