The True King of Urban Fantasy - The Dresden Files

[Fingolfin]

. . . I hate to necro a thread, but I got a Dresden newbie asking if we have a thread so . . .

It's Harry and I'm a motherfucking admin so I'm necroing the thread.

Fuck yeah, Harry's a Mother Fucking Wizard.

Damn straight. It's practically a sin that this thread did not get more posts. Also, I am aforementioned newbie.

[giorno]

now he's also the motherfucking winter knight

gaaha, the wait for cold days is killing meeee ;____;

Just finished Ghost Story, I love this series, on the moment is my favorite series out there.

Also, I recomend reading Codex Alera too from Jim Butcher, just finished the first book and I'm enjoying it a lot (thanks eddyak).

[Elf]

I just couldn't get into the Codex Alera series. Just felt wrong, but then again I'm not the biggest fan of that sort of high fantasy. Especially when it's not grimdark. When it's grimdark I love it.

And I mean Grimdark like Berserk grimdark.

[Tobias]

What? Wow, really, I thought the aleta codex was great. Different strokes eh? Course I love high fantasy

[TypeWannabe]

I've been meaning to read the Codex Alera series forever now, but I've been putting it off for some reason. I even know my bookstore has at least some of teh books, because I saw them there a few months ago.

Yes. D:

Yw.

It does get pretty dark later on. Dunno about grim, though.

[Guy]

So, which are your favorite books from the series?

We can't let this tread die!

[eddyak]

Small Favour, because Ivy, Eldest Gruff kicking butt with flower power, and choke-a-bitch Harry.

Turn Coat, because motherfucking skinwalker.

Changes, because holy shit Ebenezar levelling pyramids.

[giorno]

Changes.

i mean, are you kidding or what?

[TypeWannabe]

Changes.

[Guy]

For me is Small Favor, because Nicodemus.

Dead Beat, because Zombie Dino

Changes, because Changes.

let's talk about more serious stuff

who do you ship harry with?

personally, i got 3 ships, Molly(OH YEAH), Lea(this WILL happen, you all know it) and Lara(because C'MON, if she weren't a succubus, they would've been having massive amounts of super-angry-hate-sex since blood rites)

(plus imaginary ship with Lash/Lasciel)

(plus a fifth hidden ship of mega-doom, with crazy-super-yandere-Mab)

[Guy]

Threesome between Murph and Lash.

Even she is on your mind still counts.

[eddyak]

Having gotten into Jim Butcher's mindset to write Cold Fates, I find myself laughing maniacally at the idea of Harry shipped with someone.

Or maliciously cackling, at any rate.

Harry will never have a happy ending. Whether he ends up with whichever psychotic she-demon wants to jump (or eat) his bones at the moment because he'll never get a regular woman, or be foreveralone.jpg is another matter.

[giorno]

never talked about an happy end here

but i'm positive he's gonna bone lea, and probably lara and lash(somehow) before the end, and hope he'll enter a relationship with molly, even if he dies in the end(and we all know he will die in the end, and end right back up into jack's office....)

[TypeWannabe]

I never really pair up characters in books. Its weird, and you're weird for doing it.

Funny, I think that Harry will have a happy ending (or at least as happy as someone who survives an freaking apocalipse can have).

He will never bone Lea, she loves him like a godson, on her way at least.

Having sex with Lara would be OOC, he resists temptations, that's a big part of his character, same for Molly and Lash (sadly).

The only women I see him with would be Murph, but that's because they are such good friends, although after Ghost Story, I'm starting to doubt it.

i think he will start to change(though not much) already by cold days, and then will fall, HARD, either right before the apocalypse(don't count out the possibility of harry starting it in the first place) or midway through it

Honestly, I hope not lol.

I mean half of the fun of Dresden Files is Harry, heroic, chauvinist, more stubborn than a fallen angel...

I don't really want to see him falling so low.

Also, there is the whole "Mab can't change who you are" thing.

But, opinions.
