Truthfully in the case of a werewolf, I don't think one can assume anything.
No, there was a point to it, she was making a point, she could control him. It wasn't pain, for pain's sake, Mab was teaching Harry an important lesson, she had his contract, she could make him do stuff which he argued she couldn't. So Mab forced him to impale his hand on the letter spike. Mab believes pain can be a good teacher, one that Harry believed, one that he believed so well, that he was willing to kill himself because he feared by becoming her Knight he was becoming her complete puppet.
No, it wasn't out of spite, she had a point to make, and she made it.
No, it was a teachable moment, as Mab would say, Harry didn't believe she had his contract with Lea, nor did he believe she could make him do what she wanted. Not exactly true if we are to believe Uriel's seven words, but Mab only had to deceive. She wasn't lying because she could and can make Harry do anything she wants him to do.. However it was also a deception or bit of a lie, because while she can force him to do just about anything, she can't change him if he doesn't want to be changed. Harry understands that now, he didn't when he agreed to become her Knight.
... Which could have been Mab's plan all along, if she had to sacrifice herself, i.e. go to prison, the Queen's mantle would have gone to a very strong woman that she respected.I don't think Demonreach has a mantle-stripping quality.
I agree. If I understand correctly, human identity changes much than, for example, Mab's identity (Uriel would be an even more extreme example). In fact, I am wondering if perhaps the Names that Chauncy got for Harry are not so usefur right now.
... I doubt Global Warming going completely out of control would be good for anyone.
So probably not conceived on Demonreach. That would have been, at a minimum, a 15 month term.
I think that's comparing apples to oranges, both are fruit, but not the same.They depend upon the identity of the person.
... though I kept expecting Harry to wake up, find out it was a dream, but ...TBH, the "it was all only a dream" retcon-event was already over-done the very first time it was done!
The correct ordering of The Chronicles of Narnia is publication order.
This makes me wonder, again, if Harry was right on point. That the “Grey Council” is really the “Black Council” coming to the fore ...Errmmm... where does Harry suggest this?
... That Eb is part of that and was looking for a way to bring Harry in. Because the White is fundamentally and irreparably broken?This honestly holds together with a startlingly-coherent throughline.
Maggie Sr. was raised and trained by Eb. She had “Black Council” tendancies per Luccio. What if she learned those tendencies from her father/master. What if the “Black Council” isn’t “Black/Evil” at all? We know Eb is willing to do the “wrong thing” if he believes the reasons behind it are just. What if everything our unreliable narrator has told us… is wrong?
Which is weird, I remember that from Proven Guilty, however genetically Molly's hair is the same now as it was when she was a baby. So basically Molly, is still Molly, so some other forces when it comes to magical tracking must be at work.
I think Harry explains somewhere that as you cannot use old blood for humans, because humans change, something similar but slower happens with the Name. Perhaps even if someone has no change his legal name, they can change the way they say it, so changing the Name.No; blood "wears out" as a link when it dries, or is burnt, or etc; relatively quickly.
No, it doesn't at all, consider the circumstances under which Harry demanded the Castle, it was under the rules of the Accords. Marcone couldn't refuse, he wasn't happy about it, but he couldn't refuse. Namshiel cannot control Marcone, if Marcone didn't know or apricate the capabilities of the castle, it was because Namshiel failed to make that clear to him. Marcone still has free will, still can say no or yes, still give up the coin and try for redemption ...I don't think Marcone was obligated to surrender anything Harry asked for, though. The home castle -- of the Baron of Chicago (let alone Merlin's Castle!) -- would and should have been too big an Ask. One typically only takes prizes of that magnitude by right of conquest, and Marcone & Dresden were allies for the Battle of Chicago.
