That means that he would have to regen those parts of his brain in order to bring back Lash. I think the nerves are somewhat able to regenerate (see Harry's hand), but that brain matter is an order of magnitude less likely to regenerate. Wizard Rashid not having both his eyes seems to lend some credence to the conclusion that there are limits to what a wizard can regenerate.

But be reminded of the WoJ that Lash's story is not over (repeated in several instances, AFAIK).

First time poster long time Dresden fan. I was very interested in the construction of Harry's resurrection. After all the powerful characters that Harry has encountered, that it was Demonreach in conjunction with Mab that kept his body alive still surprised me. I foresaw the fact that his body was alive about halfway through the book but it was the saviors that surprised me. I was not surprised however that Harry had never considered the consequences of his actions to those around him by orchestrating his own death, because let's face it when has he ever? I loved Ghost story and although I miss James Marsters voice, John Glover did an excellent job of capturing Harry and Company.
Bravo to all!

I wouldn't be too sure of that. She might have started off as a copy. But a copy still has all (some argument on this) of her memories, and a fallen would only be as strong of the vessel they're wearing.

And, since Lash had been using Harry's lifeforce/energies to sustain herself AND Harry now has access to soulfire (using his soul to turbocharge spells, turning it from passive existence to active usability making many of his spells more real) perhaps Lash can also use it to rebulid/heal or make herself more than she had been. Also, Harry has a tendency to take on those with considerably greater power and eek out a win or at least a non-loss.
Should that house of cards stand, the question then begs to be asked.....Did Uriel know Lash was still around and that she would be able to use said soulfire to help herself and that perhaps her self sacrifice was worthy of a little help....and add another layer of future toughness that Harry will need by the time the BAT rolls around.......
Or maybe I should have just gotten more sleep last night......
Sunburned White Court:
So what I'm wondering is which of the Fallen actually whispered to him (I'm terribly sorry if this has been covered...) Was it Lasciel being a jerkwad or some random unknown?
