On Further Re-reading...
I totally missed the almost-cannibalism the first few times through.
I mean, yeah, I caught the whole roasted-child,-with-a-side-of-mint-sauce thing, because that was pretty hard to miss (mint sauce, y'all).
But you know what I missed? The part where Ukiah barely resisted munching on Boy Scout leg.
I mean, it wasn't a live Boy Scout. Crazy Joe Gary had already killed and dismembered it. Him. Obviously, it was a male, 'cause hello, Boy Scout. But I think you can call corpses its.
Anyway. Ukiah wasn't going to butcher anybody, or anything like that. he was just...hungry. And it was there. And he was really hungry.
He'd just been dead! He needed a snack!
And. Huh. Possibly it would not have been cannibalism.
I mean, he's half human/half alien, right? Would it still count?
God, I want some Harry Dresden right now. But I have seriously over-read all of the Dresden Files novels that I could lay hands on right now.
I'm beginning to memorize whole chunks. Of multiple books.
Such as the scene in the latest book where we discover that T-Rexs may be hella quick, but they don't corner well.
But I want more! More about Harry and his unkillable chivalry, and his slutty vampire brother who people keep mistaking for his gay live-in lover, and his new gig as magical judge, jury, and executioner! And I want to see more of his godmother! And Kincaid (omg, how much do I love Kincaid - too much for words, that's how much, bitches)! And Lasciel and her tiny, possibly-faked-for-purposes-of-manipulation-and-eventual-ownership-of-his-soul crush on Harry!
And oh, I both do and do not want to see Michael again. Because I heart him, and if he tries to slay Harry re:Lasciel, I shall have to unlove him right quick. But possibly it will not be that bad! Possibly he will see that Harry is not totally at fault! But...Knights of the Cross, they do not generally truck with this congress with the fallen. But there is Sascha! He was one of the Denarians! And is now a Knight of the Cross!
Anyway.
Love those books. Best sf/f film noir EVER.
Y'all should go read them. Alyssa, I believe you actually have a copy of the first book (courtesy of me).
Also? You suck, with the not asking for something for Christmas. Yet being willing to order me to totally overthrow YEARS of tradition, omg, you'll be lucky if you get freaking ANYTHING.
I ran out of meals on my meal plan and was unable to obtain any supper. I am now so hungry I could eat an organ ferret.
Okay, not really, but ALMOST.
