Was Ascher telling the truth?

I say she was telling the truth... from a certain point of view.

Ha! That was my first thought as well.

Haha no, I was working from memory and forgot her last name lol.
Hannah had the Coin for a while I think. The fireball that she had incredible control over killing the Fomor goons needed incredible control, and I believe Jim said that Lasciel was what gave her that precision.

All that says is she had the Coin post Changes... So she still could be telling the truth..

I would argue that she is telling the truth. After all, it is the fuel for her rage as demonstrated at the last fight. You cannot get made like that over a lie you are telling your enemies.
The other argument is story wise. A strong theme in this series is that the white council is failing. Not able to identify and protect young wizards is just another sign of this. Not being able to identify when one was wronged and fix with justice is another. Ascher is a poster child for the white council's failures.
Having it all be lies adds nothing to the story and steals away drama. So it must be the truth.
Snark Knight:
Personally, my take on it is Lasciel was torquing her anger way too hard for her to be strategic about trying to lie her way into Harry's sympathies. She just wanted to burn him down on the spot, and was confident she could overpower him in a straight fight.
I mean, she was too stupidly overaggressive to even bring a shield spell to the fight. Deceptive head games seems like it would take another tier of clear thinking beyond what she already failed to show.
