By WoJ all he got from the deal with Lea was a confidence boost.

Question/Query/Idle speculation: In Ghost Story, Molly mentioned kids being taken from the homes at night. Given the brazenness (ch. spelling) of theese attacks, might not these be the first creatures not necessarily bound by threshold limitations? Or would it be better to assume the work of mortal agents or possibly the idea they lived in apartments/rented housing with weak thresholds?

You could assume the Formor's mortal flunkies that seem to be everywhere, but thresholds are not 100% able to keep out the big bads. Mostly they act as a metaphysical screen keeping out a certain portion of your supernatural ability. Some creatures, like ghosts, have a hard time keeping themselves together with that handicap, but not everyone gets completely stopped by a threshold. Remember in Storm Front how the frog demon charged into Harry's apartment despite the threshold? Plus, somehow the fetches got into the Carpenter home in PG.

HI first time posting, I wasn't sure where to post but this looked like an appropriate section. I read ghost story months ago and recently I went on a kick to relisten to the books through audible.com mostly and I was listening to Summer Knight where he's talking to the Mothers when they talk about the mantle of Summer Knight being made inaccessible and useless and that while it exists it cannot be used is whats causing the war. We learn that Aurora did this by turning the half fay girl into the Knight and then a statue. It only just now occured to me that Harry and Mab especially did the same thing for six months. He arranged to die, but then Mab kept him sort of alive by linking up to his body and keeping it breathing for half a year. But the winter knight mantle was still in him. But unusable unless he came back to his body or it died and the mantle returned to the queen. The fairy courts went to war after a few days of the Summer Knight mantle being gone. Why didn't this happen when Harry "died" but the mantle didn't return. I mean I know Mab knew what was going on, but did anybody else know? Effectively both the Winter Knight and Queen were taken out of effective action for half a year so why hasn't the world suffered weather cataclysm due to fairy war fallout?
