The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
What is Lara's problem? [PT Spoilers!]
vultur:
So - Lara just outright charges Harry with a knife?
Yeah, I know, "people are irrational about family" is one of the themes of the book. But Lara's White Court. She's been surviving in a really deadly society for a long time. She really ought to be more controlled than that.
Even without Demonreach, there wasn't much chance of that working out for her.
She was there in WN. She's seen what happens when a White Court vampire goes up against a combat-capable wizard; it ain't good for the vampire. Sure, she had Valkyrie backup, but Harry could have fried or frozen her just as quickly as he told the island to grab her - before Freydis could have done anything.
Yuillegan:
Could be that it was an act. Trying to play into Dresden's expectations about her - caring about family, straight-forward, still one of the "good" guys etc.
When taken from that perspective it suddenly isn't so strange an act.
And then one day, she'll pull the rug out from under Dresden.
Mira:
Testing maybe? Perhaps she wanted to see what Harry could really do on the island? She might
even have ancestors in the prison.

She was either completely out of it or she did not know what Harry could do with the island. I really think both because there are so many ways she could have played this better. Maybe Harry’s true love protection played a role too, they both knew he had it.

Even if she succeeded in killing Harry, did she realize that she'd then have no hope in hell in ever getting Thomas out?
