Um, so, I'm in a powerless Dresden re-read because I began to page through Summer Knight and got stuck... Was just klicking through links when I ended up here.

Anyway, I am in full agreement of your feelings of Thomas being awesome (there's a short story collection coming out soon. Including a story from Thomas POV, huzzah) and intrigued by your comment about Marcone. He's kind of also my favorite character - may I ask why you are reluctant to like him?
