Denarian Dresden

Mira:

--- Quote ---The scene with Lash talking about the church and reminiscing about Heaven was beautiful, though.
--- End quote ---

That is one of my favorite passages in the whole series..

Arjan:
Harry wanted to save his daughter. Mab is just more reliable than Lasciel.

And with Mab he still had access to three swords, a godmother and so on. Those are better than a bunch of very unreliable denarians.

Con:
I just miss Lash man, and yes, I agree that Lash and Lasciel are two different beings and entities, but I still think both would've appeared to Harry in a battle for his Soul if Harry had gone Denarian.

Plus I dislike Mab as a character. Now if Leansidhe were to become Queen or be the primary go between Harry and the Queen that would've taken my interest which would make more sense come to think about it. Mab spends far too much time with just Harry and on the mortal realm when she's got a Faerie Queendom, A Rival Summer, The Outer Gates, The Various factions of the Accords and Mortal Matters to attend to.

I think given Lloyd Slate was primarily Maeve's errand boy it would make more sense if Lea were the primary go between. Given that the Winter Lady and Leanansidhe have both been said to be the second most powerful members of Mab's court.

But I digress. I miss Lash and would've looked forward to discovering the differences between her and Lasciel. Plus Harry neeeds to get laid dude... like a lot... Anita Blake level. I find Murphy cute but not as sexy as seductress Lasciel.

I would argue Harry becoming a Denarian would be more reason for the Sword to get involved not less.

wardenferry419:
Harry doesn't have sex much for being the big hero in his own series. The only person that gets laid less often than him is me. Other series have heroes getting it on at least once a book. Harry gets a little about once every 5 books.

Kindler:
It's fun to think about how him taking the coin would've played out. Certainly Harry's view of the Outsider situation would be drastically different. And, if you believe that Nic is working to protect our universe from the Outsiders in the long-term (because nobody gets to break his toys but him), Harry's role in supporting that effort would be crazy fun.

I sort of see Nicodemus as our reality's answer to Nemesis, a kind of counterspy working to plant false leads and sabotage their efforts. The key difference is that while Nemesis has access to allies via some kind of hivemind-type thing, Nic is no longer trusted by anyone.

In the end, though, I think Mab is just more Harry's style, and a far, far safer bet than Lasciel. The Coin would have completely changed him, and I believe that Lasciel is perfectly capable of dominating Harry rather than working alongside him, as she claims.

There is one big advantage to the Coin, though: Harry could have set it aside afterward. Michael would have saved him, I'm certain of it. It's going to be much harder to get out of being the Winter Knight, at least until next Halloween.
