Mab was wrong according to WoJ, that's all it was IIRC.

cowl couldnt be kemmler. if he was then he would have already known all about the darkhollow, i mean he came up with it. Regardless even if cowl already knew all about it, kemmler was taken down when he was already trying to do the darkhallow. Cowl was going  to take it for the reason of, its better me then those lunatics.

Mab's more speaking the truth as she believes it/sees it/shades it than outright "speaking a word that is not true" in the Robert Jordan Aes Sedai sense. But is it possible Mab's breaking the rules here somehow, and outright lying?
(click to show/hide)
This is funny because Robert Jordan probably made the word 'Aes Sedai' from 'Aos Sidhe' (and, yes, I know that 'sidhe' isn't pronounced at all like 'sedai', but if you read it with English phonetics...) He even has a 'Leane Sedai', which may or may not be a coincidence. ;D

Mab's totally not Black Ajah, though. She doesn't have the free will nor the inclination to 'go against the rules'... unless, of course, she gets some good ol' mortal help and a large dose of batshit crazy, like Aurora.

Both can be provided by Harry ;D

Glad someone gets my jokes =)

Another more random question: do we know if Harry still has the photo of his mother and father at the lincoln memorial, or did they burn up with his apartment?

Be sure to thank Mab and the Parasite (most likely Lash) as well!

Read Ghost Story again for the 3 time, and the book is still to me the worst one of the D-Files. I felt that Jim rushed the book. I won't go into everything I didn't like, but one that I have to voice/txt, How on this green earth does Harry NOT have a interactive goodbye moment with Micheal or his Brother, all he been through with them two and all he does is look on them. That was cheesy and I feel cheated, those two moments could've made this one of the great ones.

I agree they would have been nice moments But..
Micheal did not need to say goodby to Harry. Micheal knows that he will see Harry again .. eventually in heavan. A goodby scene would have been nice but not necessary...
Thomas... Justine (and her friend) had things well in hand. Harry had very little to worry about with Thomas. A goodby scene would have been nice but not necessary.
IMHO the goodby scenes in GS were much more necessary. Molly. Murphy. Little Maggie. Mouse.
Heck. Just look at all the people who were not in the book at all... it was all a matter of priorities and the people who needed it got a goodby scene.  ;)
"You did a bad thing once. It does not make you a monster." "What if it does? What if it does Harry?" "Molly, you are a good person. Don't let anyone take that away from you. Not even yourself." "Are you sure?" "Yes." "You're okay. You aren't a monster. You're gonna be alright, grasshopper."

And it would've ruined the mood. Thomas would've never forgiven him for it.

That said, yeah. The whole book is a long 'goodbye' sequence for the characters who need it the most--the ones most crushed by his death, who don't have someone else to turn to, who are in denial over it, and wouldn't move on without Dresden's shade being there for closure.
Compels solve everything!

You'd have to explain where Lasciel was in Ghost Story then.

It's a little odd really that Harry could have killed a council warden in a straight up duel come to think of it. HWCB according to bob went in against Harry at that time to start weaponizing him, maybe DuMorne was continuing the process along, or maybe something else had taken DuMorne the way DuMorne took Elaine.

He got the power to defeat Justin from Lea, I believe.
