Ghost Story Book Club - Chapters 46-FINISH **MAJOR SPOILERS**

Lash having free will was something that Harry pointed out to her in White Night. He said that there was no reason she couldn't have free will because she wasn't actually Lasciel, meaning that Lash isn't technically a Fallen. Just like Harry's abilities and perceptions change when he's just a shadow of himself, Lash's must have too. And while I'm not disagreeing that it could have been Lucifer himself, I think that a Fallen not trapped in one of the coins is more likely. The Knights of the Cross are a counter to the KotBD but their general purpose is to combat evil, and I'm sure that where a Fallen happens to reside doesn't change the fact that the KotC would be in direct opposition to them. Also, I certainly never meant to imply that there are Fallen that didn't choose to Fall. Although now that I think of it, that is sort of implied in the Bible where it says that when Lucifer was cast down his tail swept a full third of the stars from the sky. I've always thought of that as him taking Angels with him. These are just my thoughts though, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

I would also like to add that Harry as the Winter Knight amplifying his own power plus the sponsored soulfire has to be close to the same power as that of the senior council. I doubt that many off the senior council would be much of a match for Harry!

i find that unlikely.. maybe i'm wrong (i've just started my 2nd read through of the series, and i'm only beginning Summer Knight now) but the Knight Mantle, while giving a significant boost, doesn't make harry the equal of the Senior council. maybe he's in the top 20 or so world wide in sheer power, but as we've seen proven time and again, brute strength doesn't mean automatic victory. and in the cunning and experience department, the senior council has collectively got hundreds of years on harry.
i didn't read this entire topic so maybe i missed this.. but has anyone expressed thoughts on how harry being in the winter court will effect his Za Lord Guards power. seems like getting Winter sponsorship is gonna swell their magical muscles alittle.. anyone else expect these initially completely irrelevant and puny faeries to end up as moderately heavy hitters in dresden's arsenal?

I'd like to point out you're talking about a group of Little Folk that managed to kill the Summer Lady roughly 10 years ago. I would say that in some respects they're already moderately heavy hitters, at least when properly employed.

I think its just straight Lucifer. The fact that he LIED seems significant. Most of the fallen that we have seen haven't used blatant lies. Twisted truths maybe but not out right falsehoods. Prince of Lies and all. Plus there are evil priests so I'm sure the devil can find his way into the church
