And if something bad happens to him, it *stays* happened. Consequences? Witness Mavra barbecuing his hand with napalm. It's still barbecued. The fact it's slowly coming back is entirely consistent with Harry's being a wizard, and is going to take many books to resolve. It sure isn't handwaved like oh, with certain other authors.
And so agreed it ain't funny. I regret it took me as long as it did to get into him, because unfortunately when told it was like the Blake books I had horrible images of the sordid mess they are now. And this, boys and girls, is why LKH is bad for other authors. :P
