I've noticed a lot of focus on what Harry did to Molly and how terrible it was. Yes, it was an awful thing to put someone through. Especially someone you love. But look at it from Harry's point of view. It had to be done, and who else could he have asked? There was literally nobody that could have accomplished what Molly did with his memory while still leaving his mind intact. Nobody that he could trust to be meddling in there in the first place anyway.
Someone above posted that Uriel doesn't specifically say that it was a Fallen who whispered to Harry. I re-read it, and yes, he does.
“That . . . that shadow. It’s an angel?” “It was once,” he said, and his voice was gentle—and infinitely sad. “A long, long time ago.” “One of the Fallen,” I breathed. “Yes. Who knew how to lie to you, Harry.”
I find Ebenezar's absence pretty strange too, but I suppose there are a few possible explanations. Although I doubt "bogged down in paperwork" is one of them haha. I hope this is explained in Cold Days, because I have a feeling Harry's going to need all the help he can get pretty soon. Not to mention it seems an opportune time for the Eb/Kincaid feud to either get resolved or blow up. Given the nature of both characters, I don't see the "get resolved" option happening.
I'm not sure how he would do it yet, but I really hope that Jim brings Lash back into the series. She was really beginning to be a great character and then bam, she's gone. I think White Night was the first book in the series that left me sad at the end because of that.
I'm also surprised at Maggie Sr nor Malcolm being involved in GS. Like someone said before, with all the spirits and afterlife happenings flying around this book, I almost feel like "How could either of them NOT be included in it?"
