Dresden Files: Winter is coming (Cold Days Spoilers)

[Socratov]

That chapter was pretty great.

I took notice of one line in particular, though.

"Mab couldn’t kill a mortal, but to her I was no longer one of them."

I thought the whole point of the Winter and Summer Knights were that they did formally count as mortals?

Ehm, yeah, the thing is: knights are still 'kind of' mortal, but bound to the queens while 'regular' mortals are not bound to anyone so Mab can't really affect them unless she has a hold over them (like some kind of favor ir servitude). Long story short, Harry is Mab's proverbial bitch and ultimate toy/plaything. Besides, mot times a dose of power comes with attached 'benefits'.

Edit: I curse you Jim. I curse you. You've got me hooked again and now I can't wait anymore, just as I had gone cold turkey... I curse you! *stomps away frustrated*
