What strikes me as odd is the use of hyphens then spaces within words...

This often occurs when you strip the text out of a formatted work, and republish the literal text in another format...

In the snug, lonely little cham‑ ber in the basement of the castle,

Most likely, "chamber" in the printed book occurred at the end of the line, and got hyphenated in layout, but not de-hyphenated for this little freebie snippet.

I would love it to be Fitz too. I think he does come back regardless, with Tera, his mother.

...?
(I think this is intended for another thread)

Has anyone seen or heard anything from the panel this week? 

This is the first I've even heard *of* the panel.
Where/what?  Context?

That maybe true, but what if Harry gets there in time to prevent Drakul from getting Chandler? 

I think that ship has sailed, at least from the Prime!verse.

The battle is over, Drakul&co departed with Chandler (and any other wizards they captured), Harry did other stuff than rescue him.

Chandler may still be alive in the Alt!verse, of course...  Likely enough, the big assault by Ethniu never happened.

... However I don't think you can say that Murphy was misled, she was well acquainted with the Einherjar a long time before she died.

You seem to have misunderstood me.
I'm not saying Murphy was misled.

I am suggesting -- as a WAG -- that in the future we will see Murphy get back onscreen via a "convenient" combination of loopholes in the "rules," and conflicts over which "rules" apply in her specific case, and some degree of being "misled" (which gives Uriel just a touch more leeway to act) and her own rebelliousness over "following the rules" vs. "doing the right thing."

All of it, largely, orchestrated by Uriel (who exceeds even Mab for subtlety).

Uriel is limited, he might be an archangel but his power is limited by very serious rules. 

He is limited by the rules; but perhaps not so much as you think.

Remember that in Ghost Story, Uriel intentionally misleads Harry, enabled because one of the Fallen had previously misled him (in Changes).

If my WAG is correct, Gard/Vadderung is similarly "misleading" Murphy into joining as an Einherjar, in part by implying a more-passive / less-engaged role with the "White God."  The "rules" that Murphy is led to break are Odin's rules.  Obviously, my WAG may be wildly off-base!

In Summer Knight when Harry meets the mothers the opening passage describes the sets of teeth. I didn’t notice it right away. Do you think these are connected to the Names/Mantles of the Mothers.

On the hearth above the fireplace sat several sets of teeth, more or less human-sized. One looked simple enough, all white and even. The next was rotted-looking, with chipped incisors and a broken molar. The next set had all pointed teeth, stained with bits of rusty brown and what looked like rotten bits of flesh stuck between them. The last was made out of some kind of silvery metal, shining like a sword. 

I would have to re-read that scene.
I think all of the teeth were Mother Winter's teeth (for different situations/uses), but I'm not sure.

I suspect there was some folkloric / faerie-tale antecedents, and there might be clues there.
 

Apprentice by definition;
...

I think we'll just have to agree to disagree.

Harry said she was ("was" in the past tense, had been) his apprentice.
You don't believe that, thinking it a "mere figure of speech."

I don't see either of us convincing the other one.
