re: Have we discussed Battle Ground yet? (Spoilers)

Those battle scenes were freaking amazing, Harry leading the charge by using his Winter leadership powers was interesting.

A couple things played out as expected with Justine being infected and responsible for Thomas doing what he did, and Murphy dying and becoming a Valkyrie. Though Randolph being the one that killed her was surprising, screw that scumbag.

Marcone taking a coin was a pretty big surprise at the end to me, I was figuring he would have some sort of artifact to allow him to recover from death, but didn't expect him to have turn into Thorned Namshiel. That team up with him and Harry was great, and it turns Marcone into one of the most dangerous people in the Dresdenverse.

The White Council being such gigantic douchebags making Michael start throwing F bombs was pretty good too.

Be interesting to see how the Harry and Lara forced team up winds up working.
