A Thought

"Dedicated, honorable, courageous, self-sacrificial loonies are absolutely the worst people in the world to go up against."
-- Harry Dresden, Death Masks

........ Just a little bit ironic there. Huh. I wonder just exactly how many of my favorite fictional heroes or heroines that descriptor could also apply to?

How many of yours? =)

Just about all of them, with the possible exception of Mal Reynolds, who had most of the self-sacrificing beat out of him at the Battle of Serenity Valley.

I agree with you about the irony of Harry stating that, since all it that fits him to a tee, no matter how much he denies it.

Oh, yes. Mal was built in the mold; he's a little damaged when we meet him in the series, but mostly puts himself back together over the course of the movie, I think. =)

This must be my third time through the books, but I'm enjoying them even more this time; mostly, I think, because I'm not reading for "what happens next?" or researching for a Yuletide story, I'm sitting back and taking in a bigger perspective over the events of the series, and am even more impressed with Butcher now than I was before. I hope he does run this series into the twenties of books, he's got a strong enough cast and complex enough world to carry it that far.
