@2:23:55 Agree on Alera. Book 2 it starts picking up and from book 3 and onwards it's just awesome and stays that way. From book 3 a clearly more mature Butcher as a writer is emerging. Likewise, with Cinderspires it's basically Skin Game / Peace Talks from the get go - highly recommended. Justin from Dresden Files Podcast said book 2, The Olympian affair was his current favourite book. He's not wrong.

Good observation on mantles, Michael and Nicodemus between the books @30:00

@42:00 interesting. I agree it would be a banger if we get that twist, which would be very Butcheresque, and what we, really, should expect.
You're talking about how Nicodemus is actually saving the world? I would honestly love that twist.
@58:00 what if it's a known character, like Chandler or Peabody or someone like that?
