Small Favor ... rantlet

[notevendarkyet]

Hmmmm. I've slept for about four hours on the book...

ONE aspect of all that's happened that I disagree with my muse on. ONE. And of course it's expanded on. OF all the places Jim could have taken her... upset that Kincaid is hurt?

On the other hand, I kinda agree with the relationship advice she gives Harry. Just in case someone was wondering.

Ah, and when I was speculating about her getting Shiro's sword, I had good reasons to think it would happen a lot later. She's the right kind of person. But she's far from ready for it yet. That job offer was... untimely.

Oy, and lots of love from my muses to Molly. Michael is going to be all right.

... and oich! Now not only the Fallen but the actual angels have Harry's number. I doubt Jim Butcher will manage to get Harry into as much intensity quite by the next book, it takes a bit of momentum for that, but the stakes went even higher...


and a couple of even more random comments.
- Jared. Anybody else think that is one more of his pop culture references and a nod to Jareth?
- This may only be relevant to me, but I love the even MORE Vorkosigan / Bujold references.

And a question - will the new canon be incorporated in the End of the World storyline, or that will be kept pre-Small Favor break?

Regarding one:

I dislike the Kincaid-Murphy ship almost as much as the Luccio-Dresden ship.

I haven't gotten as far as the point your at, but It would seem to me that Murph is the kind of person who can't just shag a guy and not care about him at all. Again, maybe when I get to that point I'll read and consider the reaction excessive too, but I can't say yet ...

Regarding new canon in EotW SL. Can't really say till I've read the whole book. I will post a state of the muse after being finished that lets everyone know where I stand with it.

I'd kind of like to, if only to work Thomas' scarf in somehow (which can be done without working in everything else if needed).

It seems like everything that happened in Small Favor would completely de-rail what's happening currently in the EotW storyline. Unless we're saying Small Favor just happened recently. Or something. Meh.

I think I'm going to have to agree with Kas. I'm not sure Murphy's the kind of person to just sleep with someone and not end up caring about them, despite her conversation with Harry previously about casual relationships. It could simply be that while she is attracted to Kincaid and she does worry about him there at the end, that isn't the same as wanting a house witha picket fence with him (no matter how adorable he was with Ivy).

And I don't think it was a nod to Jareth. He never struck me as very Jareth-like. I do, though, think it's definitely not his real name.

HA HA I guess I'm the only one that likes the two new ships. They won't last long anyway but I do like Murphy/Kincaid and Harry/Luccio. I agree with Murphy's relationship advice though. It can't last because of all the secrets he has to keep but as a bridge to the next relationship after Susan I think it's good.

Of course Lara thinks it's great since it means he's no longer under the True Love protection. MWAHAHAHAHAHA

As for Molly she's all ack ack ack with her dad, but since he seems to be out of the worst part of it she's adjusting much better. She still REALLY HATES that she can't visit him in the hospital.

As for the storyline, Molly really didn't have a heck of a lot in the Small Favors book. Mostly backup help so I can incorporate her new canon in the end of the world sl or not. Whichever would work best. :)
