I thought a big part of it was that Winter Knights got access to Sidhe magic. Instant, pretty powerful mojo. It's less of a power boost for Dresden because he can already use magic really well, so it just sort of flavors what he already has.

I'm also a little disappointed that we didn't get to see more of depowered Uriel and what the whole deal with that was, but it's probably some set-up for future books. I was expecting it to end with Uriel dying and Michael becoming the new Uriel, but I guess that might have been a bit of a rehash after last book.

Oh, yeah, and I apparently got the Kindle version of Skin Games for free? I bought it this morning and the receipt looks like this:



Anyone have any idea what that's about?

It's probably from the antitrust settlement that Amazon made with the DOJ a couple of months ago; basically if one had purchased kindle books in a previous time frame, one would also get credits towards future e-book purchases as part of the deal.

:smug: Hoping this pans out so I can say I predicted something at least one time.

I enjoyed Skin Game. It wasn't quite as good as Cold Days, but still among the better books in the series. The action was really solid, and some of the twists really surprised me.

"Nice try? Mister, where I come from there is no try." :allears:

Maggie is so adorable! :3:

Hades is such a bro, and Uriel continues to be cool.


Does anyone mind explaining to me what the Spear of Destiny is? My family is Jewish, and I've never studied much religion anyhow.
