What themes are explored in chapters 53 to 55 of Twelve Months?
When I think of the future, I think of important people and what I want to offer them. At Nordea Private Banking, my investment manager helps me make decisions that take time. This way my family stays ahead of the steps.
This is an unspoiled network podcast.
This is unspoiled, covering the Dresden Files, book 18, 12 months, chapters 53 through 55. In these chapters, we have got a strange little skirmish that actually gets inside the castle, but it turns out it's all part of Harry's design, his evil plan, and also Thomas at the end.
Welcome to unspoiled.
Welcome to the show, everyone.
I am Natasha. I'm Rashawn. All right, Rashawn, tell me how you feel about how this book ended.
I enjoyed these chapters a lot. He pulled the fast one with the wedding scene. But we talked at length about that in the last episode about the possibilities and whether or not it wasn't enough time for the wedding. And I had even said maybe Mav would be a little bit more flexible since she's gotten what she wanted.
How does Harry's character evolve through these chapters?
So it turns out that's kind of the case and Mav has just given them an extension. The wedding's not off, but it's going to be midwinter instead of... Which midwinter is like
What? February? Winter? Sorry. I can't drink things anymore without my friggin', like, throat making noises of like, hey, are you done? Are you done? We'll stay open if you need to take another sip, but getting old's a trip, dude. Anyway, midwinter, I believe... Because winter officially begins on like December 21st. So I believe it would be February. That's what I'm thinking too.
Yeah. Spring is March 21st.
What significant events occur during the battle in the castle?
March 20th, 21st. So like middle of January to middle of February feels like midwinter to me.
Okay. So it depends because people sometimes call the winter solstice midwinter. which is the 21st. But the actual middle of winter is February 2nd or 3rd, which is in bulk in the Celtic pagan holidays.
Right, right, right, right.
Signaling, like, finally, light is going to start coming back. Stay cool, kids, everybody. We've gotten through it. We're about to get some daylight.
I had a significant number of people wishing a happy end to the world on my timeline. Nice. And that is, like, that's new.
How does the concept of time impact the characters' healing?
It's a newer phenomenon that I'm starting to notice more and more and more. People are celebrating these Pagan or other traditional markers of time, in addition to like the big national holidays that we already know about. but um so I was like okay Jim Butcher with the wedding alright I'm gonna let that slide but I got my eye on you about this particular thing I'll be honest when you were saying that you like expected the wedding this book I was surprised because that hadn't occurred to me like that wasn't something I was looking for at all so I wasn't disappointed by it but once you said it I was sort of like oh I guess I see that yeah I mean just because like the whole thing is I mean it's 12 months and
Obviously, it's about how much he's changed. I mean, it's this last end and the way that this battle goes and the realism. There's a line he says something about... He says when he's first getting ready to like really start fighting, he says something like, you know, a year ago, I wouldn't have been able to do this when he's holding the wind and also like the shield up and all that. Right. He says a year ago, I wouldn't have been able to do this, but I'm better now. And then he said, and I've been teaching, so I am better now. And I was just like, oh, okay. Because it's so good because I'm better in the sense that I've been healing. But also, I'm fucking really fucking good at this shit now. Watch me work.
What role do friendships play in the characters' development?
I did. I loved almost everything. I'm going to say almost everything about this. The only thing I didn't love is the fact that it appears as though this skirmish, as you called it, was really just about cleaning Dracul's house and getting some... people out the way. And there was a line from someone saying that he's preparing for the next battle. And I was just like, oh.
Yeah, it's like we barely recovered and you're already talking about, oh, my God.
