That novels is easily my least favourite of the Ultramarines books, and even i'll admit that was one of the best delivered moments in the series.

‘And pray to your dread gods?’ Giselle said, glassy-eyed.
‘No,’ Archaon said. ‘For I have none. Let the powers of darkness favour me if they will. Let them lend me their strength and draw strength from my victories, if that is their want. You will not see me kneel to them even as I kneel before you now. All gods are fickle. Don’t trust in them. I don’t. Believe as much as you need to or not at all. Ultimately, the only thing you can really believe in is yourself.’
‘You serve the Chaos gods…’
‘They serve themselves,’ Archaon said. ‘As do I. This world is not fit for man or god. The Empire and nations of old, the exotic lands beyond and even here – the cruel Wastes. All will fall and all will burn for me. I will be the Lord of the End Times. The harbinger of doom for all – man and god – for in a world of the slain, with no men, no savages, no ancients of the elder races to pray to them and erect their temples, what will become of these gods, their heroes and their daemons?’

This is my favourite quote from VS so far. Especially as it is being hammered in so often :p

I... have to finish everything... for that boy.

Spoiler: Is anybody else pissed off by the fact that Harry went to sulk on his island for like a year when Molly needs him most? I mean, I obviously don't know how Skin Game shakes out, but the teaser chapter at the end of Cold Days made it very clear that he was abdicating his responsibility to be there to emotionally/politically support Molly in the Winter Court. To say nothing of the mortals in the Winter Court that he made a big fuss about being under his protection when he was around.
I suppose it's a credit to Jim Butcher that I'm pissed off at Dresden for being a self-absorbed idiot rather than Butcher for writing him that way--but then, I have yet to read the new book and see how the land lies among various characters.

Ah, Dresden Files. Need to pick up a copy of Skin Game, myself...

Spoiler: Michael agrees with you. All I'm sayin'.

Spoiler: Butters and Murphy also agree. Skin Game does deal with the fact that Harry did in a way abdicate his responsibility during Cold Days and in the aftermath of it.
