Summoning Molly

(1/13) > >>

So Butcher was doing a Q&A and book signing in McLean, VA yesterday, and I was able to get WoJ confirmation for something that I've been thinking about for a while. I asked him if when he was stuck on DR between Cold Days and Skin Game, and trying desperately to contact Molly, if he could have done a summoning ritual to bring her to him. JB confirmed that he could have indeed done that, though he wasn't sure how that would have gone over. I can't see Molly being too pissed about him doing that, especially when he explained why he needed to see her. But how pissed off would Mab have been, given that she was specifically keeping them apart. Or would she have been more impressed at his ingenuity? Some combination of the two? What do you guys think her reaction would have been?

Dashkull:
I think his answer was more on the order of “yes he could but it would definitely NOT have gone over well.” I assumed he meant with Mab, I don’t know why Molly would have been upset.

Someone also asked him if the mother, queen and lady could give him conflicting orders, to which he replied “mwahaha they Are Now!” In that tone he gets when he got a great idea of how to screw Harry over.

I think that helps answer your question. He (and Molly) CAN try to circumvent her, but it is not ever going to end well for them.

twobee:
YES! That was his best answer of the day! Fans giving the author evil ideas to use!

And yeah, Mab wouldn't get pissed, she'd get even. Just find another way to manipulate him

Griffyn612:
My guess is that Mab kept Molly busy enough that if Harry did try summoning her, Mab could have shown up in her stead a la Dead Beat, thus preventing the meeting.  But he'd also be unintentionally summoning Mab to the island, where their last encounter was a threat to take her under.  Not to mention the gall of a Knight summoning his Queen. 

It would have been bad.

pcpoet:
I seem to remember a threat from Mab to him if he undermined her authority publicly. I am sure that harry  as a Knight of winter would not do that because of what happen to the last knight who under cut her authority.
