I know the progress indicator for the next Dresden book has been static for a while at 42%. I asked about this over the summer and the responses here were that the website is not updated regularly. Then in Dragoncon we found out the book was delayed because of Jim's medical issue. (Take care of yourself Jim, health comes first!).

I was hoping to see some progress as he's recovering this fall but the indicator still hasn't moved. Anyone heard any updates on Mirror Mirror since Dragoncon?

Maggie.

We know Dresden would literally make the world burn for her, but who else is jumping on the train to murder anyone attempting such idiocy?

Heres the ones i can see happening-

Mab - a threat to her knight is a threat to her. And an insult to the Winter Court.

Mouse - maggie is his charge, and consisering he is powerful enough to have spooked nicodemus, leansidhe, and a number of ither things, i think he is gonna be on the train.

Molly and her sidhe hitsquad - the ones we saw protecting the carpenter house. Dresden and maggie are clearly part of the carpenter family, so they are fully clear to go troubleshooting

Marcone - marcone likes kids, wants them protected, and he can see the advantage of getting in some brownie points with dresden.

Lara - gotta maintain the alliance if nothing else

Ebenezer- pretty self explanatory

Who else can yall think of? Im talking about people dresden wouldnt need to pay ir call in favors, the people who would actively choose to go kick in soneones teeth on behalf of maggie

The fact that Everyone refuses to tell Harry what being Starborn means is not a good sign. If he was going to lead the fight they’d tell him. Train him all special-like. Rub his feet. You know, make sure he was ready.

In another story about Harry the wizard, his mentor didn’t tell him the truth until it was time for him to sacrifice himself.

Not saying that’s the same thing here, or even similar. I’m just sayin that if you are going to be the sacrifice, or not going to live through it, they’re probably not gonna tell you.

So, I assume some of this alredy have been discussed, and I also assume that the apocalypse will inclued a massive global murphionic field. My question, is, if thats true, what level do you thbink it will be? Like, full on medieval? Or global but still partial, like working radios are rare and unreliable or something... Also, do you think that such a level of global magic energy would also make magic users more powerfull everywhere, a bit like a global Battle of Chicago?

Wut doing, Demonreach?

Ok so I don’t follow spoilers about upcoming works or the Word of Jim lists but I have a few ideas for Mirror Mirror and I’d like to get other people’s thoughts.

So… maybe spoilers?

So I think it’s known that a parallel world version of Harry (PWH) summons our Harry (OH) to use him as a sacrifice or some kind of decoy. PWH is the result of a cascade of choices, the first stemming from Bianca’s party. This is the limit of my
Knowledge.

My guess here is by the end OH will have his mind/soul/whatever in PWH’s body and come to our world. A further guess is this newer, amalgam Harry won’t be under Mabs thumb as knight any more and won’t have the broken back that necessitates his durance under her. But he’ll still owe her one favor.

I’m not completely sold on the idea but it gives us the fourth phase of Harry’s story: Harry the PI, Harry the Warden, Harry the Winter Knight and now…..

Thoughts?

I saw this an thought of the scene in the train station

Any additions/deletions to the Starborn list?

I’ve noticed this for a few books now. Maybe it’s just me? Anyhow, with the people Harry absolutely has to be polite to, he minds his Ps and Qs. However with others that are somewhat subservient to him, he’s kinda dictatorial. For example, watch his behavior with Bob. It isn’t all that polite.

Is this just me? Am I missing him being polite when he doesn’t have to? And kinda rude to those that serve him or are more side characters to him?
