I have just finished CaF, and agree with everything you said. (though I prefer some of the earlier Dresden to the more recent[Grave Peril]) :)

Your description of Kitai was great.

My opinion of the Dresden books is coloured heavily on my opinions of the characters and my relative dislike for both Thomas and Mouse. *waves Mister flag* But I know I'm in the minority and just have to deal with them. I would like nothing more than Mouse to go the way of Susan though.

Kitai is very much Tavi's keeper. And her conversations with Isana had me rolling. And Jim writes her so very well. I have adored Kitai since we first met the little whelp.

Now if only Harry and Murphy could work out their issues. <3's them together.

I am slightly surprised Sextus didn't mention anything about Kitai when he had his little "talk" with Tavi at the end. He never saw Isana as someone suitable for Septimus, so will he see Kitai as suitable for Octavian? Not that he really has a choice here.

And Kitai is an Ambassador for her people, so that's helpful. And Isana thought it casual too, so yeah, until either Kitai or Tavi can explain, not many people will understand exactly what their relationship entails.

And thinking of Isana and Kitai's conversation makes me think of the Doroga/Walker comment and gets me laughing all over again. "Walker would not allow it." *giggle*

Oh yes, 2.5 butt kicking wizard babies.

I think, as Isana figured, at first Kitai was just teasing her. Though, as she said, the answers to Isana's questions were in there. You just had to look for them.

I don't think Murph will let Bob have much contact with the kids, at least not until they're older. And yes, I do foresee skull smashing if Bob attempts to give "the talk." There would also be a husband sleeping on a couch if that were to happen.

And if Tavi ever actually tells her something of importance before she's already worked it out for herself...well, the world may end. (I do hope she's going with him to the Canim lands. They won't survive a year apart).

Kinda hope one of the kids doesn't inherit Harry's power, so that Murph isn't the only 'normal' one.

Yes, Kakashi is yummy.

She was having troubles being from Calderon to Alera Imperia away from him, and it didn't take her long to follow him with the Legion. And since he made the Marat Cohort part of the First Aleran, they can legally go with him. She's going. Definitely.

I do hope Murphy gets the sword. I've been thinking that for 3 books or so. And since the demotion, it seems to make more sense. It would be easier for her to give up CPD for the sword now than when she was the head of SI.

I've never read the manga for Naruto, but I watch the anime (japanese with eng sub). Kakashi is my favourite character. And I don't mind Naruto...he just occasionally needs to be ignored.

Ahh, yes, true. Where would he be without her to tell him he's being stupid? He doesn't listen to Max. :)

Just give the woman a chainsaw, she'll be fine. (Though the sword is prettier). As long as Molly or Thomas don't get it.

The only manga I keep up with are Fruits Basket and YuYu Hakusho. Kakahsi is first, with Gaara coming in second. And I'm fairly picky on the anime I watch.

Murphy getting the sword just makes a lot of sense. Especially with how Harry Sees her with his Sight.

True, he did listen to Max while they were at the Academy. But Kitai rules him so much better. Kitai could care less for the Aleran chain of command. He's hers and she'll do with him as she pleases. Whether he's a furyless farm boy, a Captain of a Legion, or next in line for the throne. ...as long as he keeps doing those wonderful things with his mouth...

YYH was the first anime I got into. Something about it drew me in. Maybe the impossible situations overlayed with stupid humor. FB is always good. Though I wish they'd done a second season with the anime. I just picked up vol. 18, though I think I neglected to read 17, so it'll give me something to do a little later.

There are times (like now), that even Tavi seems to feel that way.

I'm amused that we're having two other conversations in these comments that are not Alera related. :)

I believe it wasn't read because a friend nabbed it from me and read it herself. BTW, who is on the cover of 18? Is it Kazuma Sohma? (Kyo's adoptive father) If so, he looked much better before the haircut.

I wished at times that Kitai would whack him upside the head and drag him off. Though for much dirtier reasons than the headaches in his life.

Now that I think about it...it is pretty common practice for me also.

here's the cover art: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41lfDMs73kL._AA240_.jpg

Even Max knows what happens after the whacking and dragging, as he assumed that's what was going on back in the Elinarch while he and the rest of the First Aleran were getting drenched out in the field, when in all actuality he was heaving his guts up on a boat. (With Kitai curled up at his feet)
