That's only if you assume that neither of those had outstanding markers owed to one of the Faerie Queens. I think Harry still owes Mab one more 'favor'. If that's the case, she wouldn't let him die before she collected. I wanna say Lloyd Slate did something to tick Mab off, hence his 'torture chamber' of ice, but I don't recall right off hand. I still haven't read the preview chapter... was out of town, then my PC tried to die, so I'm getting it back in order first. *kicks the cranky old machine* | |

| Re: [Dresden] "Ghost Story" March 2011 A necromancer is a good guess. The only other ways I can think of he could be brought back to life are by a demon with a lot of power or an angel. Don't forget we have some Norse mythology in the mix also. Odin and the Valkyries may have a use for Dresden. |

| Re: [Dresden] "Ghost Story" March 2011 Valkyries use dead spirits...meh, it could work. I doubt dresden would work for a demon, so they are out. And the angel's words pretty much say it's up to fate after the issue in the volume sorts itself out. But this is a guess of course, jim loves throwing plot twists. |

| Re: [Dresden] "Ghost Story" March 2011 I just finished reading Ghost Story... I won't spoil it for anyone. When others start posting after reading I'll join back in with my thoughts. Not the best Dresden novel IMHO but still great. |

| Purr-fectly crazy  | Re: [Dresden] "Ghost Story" March 2011 Just finished it a couple of days ago. As Highlander mentioned, there is a LOT of stuff in this book. I won't mention specifics but the scenes where Harry remembers his past are really good at building an even more detailed picture of why Harry is the way he is. A few characters from his past pop up, including one that only featured in the short stories but who I was glad to see made it into the book. In some ways, Ghost Story is quite brutal and there were many times I winced at what the characters had to endure. That is not a criticism, merely an observation. I now feel the urge to re-read the series but that will have to wait, as my TBR pile grows bigger and bigger and bigger... |

| Lady of Autumn  | Re: [Dresden] "Ghost Story" March 2011 I finished it last week, and throughly enjoyed it. I loved the way the secondary characters get a little more development, especially Butters, and although we're left with quite a few unanswered questions, it's still one of my favourites in the series. I loved the scene with Mister, too - I got a bit misty-eyed at that point. |
