Although, it may be good that everyone thinks Harry's dead if he's still gotta be the Winter Knight, even with his self intact. I am very curious to see what happens.

I have a feeling the largest part of the next book will be Harry learning the ins and outs of court life and acting in his capacity as Winter Knight- It will be interesting to see what Mab asks of him and how he goes about fulfilling his obligation while staying true to himself. One of the biggest curveballs I anticipate will be how time will flow and if/when Harry makes it back to his old stomping grounds (especially after having to be "rehabilitated" by Mab) how much time will have elapsed......Could be running into a little Maggie that isn't so little! I also can't wait to see how his status as Winter Knight alters preexisting relationships with those like Marcone, Vadderung (sp?), Lily/Fix, The Merlin, etc....

I'll all I had mixed feelings with the book, though still a very enjoyable read to me, and quite excited with what's coming next. I liked how he brought Nick from the fist short story. I wonder if we'll see him again at some point, though I doubt it. Maybe a small cameo. With Murphy under Marcone and his vikings, the Harry vs Marcone plot just got that much interesting. Looking forward to Cold Days, and seeing where all our friends will be aligning themselves.

Don't see Murphy as working for or "under" Marcone. At worst she's useing the "devil" she knows the fight a "greater evil".
And I posted in another thread but thought I would post here as well. I know we've had lots of post argueing about rather or not fae can love or even feel emotions as we do. And I don't want to start that up again. But does it seem to anyone else that Mab has a a lot more the just possessive feeling for Harry. She just spent 3 months keep Harry alive. Spending an, arguable, ungodly amount of power. And most telling to me wasteing away her physical appearance (And the Fae are a very physical oreinated species, or at least seem to set a great store on it) to keep alive something she calls just a "tool". You don't spend that much time, effort and power on something you decribe as easly changedable.

That's because Mab is Molly.

Wow.
I suspect the reason has something to do with Maggie Senior's efforts on his behalf prior to his birth. "In exchange for ???, you will do everything you can to Keep Him Alive", or something similar.
We already know he picked up [DFRPG-Speak] Inhuman Speed, Strength, and Toughness-and-or-Restoration, along with some MORE sponsored magic (soulfire is a souped up version of sponsored magic) [/DFRPG-Speak].
I also suspect he'll pick up Lasciel's coin at some point in the relatively near future. The ultimate goal of the Knights of the Cross is to redeem not only the bearer of the Denarians, but the fallen angels within as well. Harry's almost certainly has the best shot at it... particularly if he's receiving advice from Mab.
Furthermore, I imagine Harry + Lasciel will be working on getting Harry free of the whole Winter Knight thing.
Even without The Coin, Winter Knight Harry is going to be an Epic Mystic Wrecking Ball Of The Apocalypse, particularly while standing on Demonreach.
Laschiel may not be up on current events, but in terms of magic theory & soulfire in particular, I suspect she'll blow Bob (not like that) out of the water.

I hadnt thought about this at all but itll be interesting to see how time will flow. That's only if he spends lots of time in the Unseelie Court, surely as the Winter Knight used for doing the Winter Queen's bidding in mortal affairs he'll spend most of his time in the normal world?
