The Dresden Files/Small Favor: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

 

No one's tried to kill Harry Dresden for almost an entire year, and his life finally seems to be calming down. For once, the future looks fairly bright. But the past casts one hell of a long shadow.

* [[Snowball Fight]]: The beginning of ''Small Favor'' has one involving the entire Carpenter family and Harry.

* [[Telepathic Sprinklers]]: Averted, since [[A Wizard Did It|Harry did it]]. Specifically, since all the sprinkler heads are the same he used thaumaturgy to heat them all up at once.

* [[Training From Hell]]: Harry uses a family snowball fight at the Carpenter house to teach Molly how to create a defensive shield. Charity comments on this and Harry remarks that it's good training. Charity asks if that's how Harry was trained and Harry replies that [[Evil Mentor|Justin]] used '''baseballs'''.

* [[Unreliable Narrator]]: Harry's usually pretty straight with the readers, but on this occasion it's played with when he leaves out a minor, but significant event in the plot {{spoiler|because he had his memory of it blocked}}. Also used as a handwave for inconsistencies from early in the series, such as one minor character whose name changes in between books (Harry heard it wrong the first time), or when Butcher gave Wrigley Field a parking lot that it doesn't have in real life.
