Book 17 Mirror Mirror? Rumor thread
Rasins:
I wonder if Harry HAD been around to catch on to Molly's budding powers, if that would have had a negative effect on the creation of the Paranet.
wardenferry419:
Maybe not, the idea of the Paranet came in the next book about witch-culling.
Rasins:
Yeah, but he may not have caught on quickly enough because he was focused on Molly.
wardenferry419:
I agree that Molly was a big influence; but, I think the beheaded Korean boy was significant as well.

--- Quote from: Kindler on November 29, 2017, 02:12:08 PM ---Actually, this one is interesting. Molly getting in trouble in Proven Guilty is an indirect result of Harry picking up Lasciel's Coin. Harry had consciously avoided Michael ever since, to the point where he hadn't seen him in a couple of years (especially odd because they're pretty much best bros). Because Harry wasn't around, he didn't pick up any of the signs from Molly, and she didn't have the opportunity to casually talk to him about it. Mab even lampshades it in Cold Days (page 480 on Nook):
Harry's absence, especially after his frequent presence and mysterious example, is one of the things that engineered Molly's circumstances. So, in Mirror, Mirror, if he didn't pick up the Coin, maybe Molly never went warlock in the first place. I'd actually like that, because the Mirrorverse might be a bit boring if everything is objectively worse in every regard, you know?
--- End quote ---
I see either two things happening. Either Harry is more involved in Molly's training from an earlier point and thus prevents her from going warlock due to not picking up the coin. On the other hand, Harry could withdraw due to Susans (supposed death/turning) and once again misses the signs of Molly's training leading to a similar outcome as the prime reality or a worse outcome in which she is either dead or joined with supernatural bad guys in her quest for power.
