Okay, I just got to chapter 31, and can we talk about the utter pointlessness of the Titania-Harry conversation? Like, I'm liveblogging it here but I am still not over how fucking stupid that was.
Yeah, it totally makes sense in character for Harry but... I think this book for me so far has been pretty much "in universe, this makes sense, but out of universe this is really shitty writing." And god, I want to like it? I do. But while it's got some awesome myth arc stuff and I really like that because that's my jam, the rest of it is just so awful.
Also, JB's shorthand for Harry losing control being that he thinks about raping Sarissa and Lily, and get possessive of Molly-- um, I never want to be alone with Butcher ever, holy shit
