Huh. Wasn't aware we had transparent color options on this forum. I opened up a screenshot in paint, and sampled the color of the background. 
Also, the reveals about the Outside in this book are seriously making me consider a Homestuck crossover, where the Kid's meteor goes flying over the Outer Gate after flying through a dream bubble and getting duplicated because LOL Furthest Ring space-time fuckery.

Well, I finished it before going off to eat lunch. That was a quick 2 and a half hours of Dresden kicking ass. And it will be another year before the next one comes out.. T_T
At first I was like: Ok -> Interesting -> I like where this is going (stayed in this stage for a majority of the book)-> Son of a bitch, Why? (was my reaction for a second) -> Ok, not all is lost, there is still hope for it -> Okay, I see where this is going(a number of chapters or so before the twist) -> Son of a Bitch, I saw it going that way but it went sideways (was expecting something else and another alternate possibility and ended with being half right)-> Oh, hey... this means that!!!! -> Oh, boo... eh, it will only be a short thing for all they reasons that they addressed -> Next Book now plz.
As a side note that has nothing to do with ... well pretty much anything- Way to go Butters! I always liked him more than many of the side characters... probably has to do with the dinosaur but he is reaping the benefits of being awesome now.
Edit: and Toot. Can't believe I forgot about his luck. Go for it Toot-Toot!

As always, Harem Route is best route.
Is it just me, though, or does anyone else think that Sarissa had the right idea, by refusing to make the Choice? Get most of the perks of being a Faerie (if not the raw power or grace most of them possess), without the restrictions of doing so and retaining your own free will.

Vord enemy not good.
Overused of cliffhangers. (They're not good either.)
New stuff good, old stuff not good.
Prose is terrible...but pretty much all the books are like that, only world building saves it. (Hence old stuff not good. Once you remove the world building, the mediocre writing really is apparent...)
It's better than Ghost Story.
(Also, Winter Ladies are like a dime a dozen yo.)

Cait Sith also seemed to have no idea about the orders Mab had given him.
On the other hand, Maeve seemed to have all her memories so maybe the infection (possession?) is not the same for everyone and varies depending on what is needed.
I mean, if we take the 'just about every previous bad guy was infected' at face value, then Aurora seemed to honestly think she was doing the right thing, rather than being aware she was part of some dark conspiracy.

The infection seems to work in different ways, depending on how nemesis wants it to work. When posible, it will go through the subtle route slowly changing you so that your goals are its goals. If necessary, it will however pretty much walk in your skin to get the job done. It needed the Cat Sidhe now so it did the second option. With Aurora, it had the time to do the first option.
Actually, I think Nemesis just took direct control of Cat Sidthe via the infection. So it seems anyone that is infected can be directly controlled if needed.
Otherwise, it seems like it's more subtle in the way it influences people. Like instead of direct control, it's whispers that alter personalities. And it seems different things can be whispered to get different effects.
And remember, it was Maeve who said that people who are infected would protect themselves if the knowledge was exposed. So it could have easily been a lie.

Other than the obvious awesome stuff that went down, I can't wait until the book where Harry time travels. I, however, will not like any of the inevitable Back to the Future allusions... even worse if he actually sees his mum.
Every time he meets with the Gatekeeper, something new is revealed that comes into fruition 3~5 books later, so I am expecting it soon.
I fully expect Harry to break every single Rule of Magic before the end. Can't forget about Harry's impending smackdown with the White Council either, fully expect that to happen very soon.
edit: Cold Days also triggered a memory... Proven Guilty now means much more to the series than previously. It has a lot more there and makes much more sense now. I think I also spotted one instance of time travel as well, at least I think I did.
Connecting some dots there and I don't like what I'm getting. But for sure, some of those earlier books have much more significance now. Might have to reread some of them to pull some more clues.
