Or harry working as the "inside man" (for a given definition of the term) trying to aid Mab's Winter Knight in taking Nick down.

Battling Lasciel for control as she tries to get word to Nick...
I'd read it.

Hard to say how that might have gone down. Given Lasciel's standing as a rebel among the rebel angels, she might have been perfectly happy to see her host nab the treasures out from under Nic's nose. Not for any altruistic reasons or to protect the world from him abusing them, but so she'd be the one calling the shots over how they got used instead of Anduriel and Nic.

Nah, we've already read about 3 books where the main theme is battling Lasciel for control.

There's no reason Harry couldn't have gone on to use that power against N-fected Maeve and then Nicodemus, but a Darkhallow probably would have left him overpowered for those to even be interesting adversaries.

I disagree, you do what you have to do, and Harry always does. I'd still root for him; there's something captivating about someone who's dedicated enough to kill thousands to protect even more. Peace loving ideas aside, historically speaking, to get anything done you have to spill blood, and much of it (even innocent's blood)
I agree with the overpowered bit though.

If Harry had gone with the Darkhallow, it wouldn't have been about sacrificing thousands to wipe out the Reds and save hundreds of thousands more from becoming their victims. Several Halloweens have gone by from Dead Beat to Changes to make that kind of a calculated choice if he was going to. Reaching there for power in Changes would have been killing thousands because his daughter matters more to him than all the other victims he would have had to kill to save that one life.
