3. I KNOW RIGHT! Slightly underwhelming, was expecting a Ferro level being. Maybe he is and we just haven't seen him yet. He hardly seemed to be worried about the fight.
I think he looks less impressive in this book since so many major powers are on stage (Ethniu, Mab, Titania, Odin, etc.)
Given that Beowulf was Odin, IMO it says something about the potential power level of the Forest People that Odin thought he needed to get involved personally... Being able to stand up to River Shoulders might be pretty impressive in and of itself.
Also, potentially able to win a fight against Mab per WOJ doesn't necessarily mean her equal in all ways.
The Elders were very underwhelming. They are supposed to be able to take on Mab. Maybe that wasn't all of them
Well, the full group ("thirtyish") were supposed to be able to. Not just five.
4. For now. Corruption isn't an overnight thing
Good point. I was mostly thinking that Namshiel would be opposed to protecting Chicago, but I think there is a WOJ about Lucifer being opposed to the Outsiders? So if Ethniu was working with the Outsiders maybe there's no "conflict of interest" in
this fight.
- Weird. How do they know? Still though, makes things easier.
It might not actually be that hard to figure out, depending on what sources of information Michael has.
Given that they know Harry is Winter Knight & Molly is Harry's former apprentice, Winter is a logical suspect for weird supernatural stuff going on with Molly.
And Michael did see Molly's image on the statue in Skin Game. That might have started him asking questions. To those in the know, the two groups of three female figures would suggest the Queens of Faerie. (Sure, Hecate, but Hecate traditionally is at best tri-form, not six-form.)
