The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
HUGE BATTLE GROUND SPOILERS - (Un)Answered questions
Yuillegan:
Technically, he's just Namshiel. But maybe that's just how everyone sees him. And of course, because that's how Jim names him. It is odd, I admit. Although technically, Nicodemus and Tess both have two names.
Wrane - Shame you didn't like it. I personally very much enjoyed it. We all get something out of different books. Can't say I agree that the remaining unanswered questions are uninteresting though. Plenty of good stuff handed out, but so much more to know now. And I appreciate Jim finally got around to actually dealing with some of them. Dresden did learn heaps though. From conversations with LtW, Mab, Bob, Vadderung, Eb, Drakul plus observation and overhearing other things. Seems like finally he starts paying attention and asking the right questions.

Oh yeah, she got it. And I daresay Vadderung already knew. He didn't seem too fussed though, so make of that what you will.

And which day? That seems important.

My guess would be day after X-Mas to compare notes.

So Battle Ground provided quite a bit of exposition and answered some questions that have been discussed a lot on here before, as well as some events that people had predicted:
- Murphy's death and ascending to Einherjar...dom
- Marcone did take up Thorned Namshiel's coin (interesting to look back at Skin Game with the Denarian involvement with this in mind?)
- We finally got to see Drakul! It's interesting because I had always interpreted WoJ re the Black Court to suggest Drakul didn't have much to do with it and Dracula had run away from him to form it. This suggests Dracula isn't really involved (or even un-alive) as Drakul seems to be very past-tensey about him.
- Pretty much word for word confirmation Mac is an (ex)Angel.
- Confirmation Justine is Nemfected
The reveals just kept coming, I couldn't put it down (happily took the day off work).
Anything other readers have been waiting to see or questions that were answered? And what questions do people want answered subsequently?!

BG answers the question about power levels. This book show us that even the likes of Mab is not at the level of *Divine* yet, while angels, even those fallen ones who are bound in the coins are at *divine* status. In other words, being *immortal* is not = being *divine*
The assertion that the Queen of faeries aka Mab and Titania is equal in power to angels, as stated in book 4, is now proven false. Book 4 Harry is wrong about this matter.

New Years Day? Start of a new year? Perhaps the lunch bit is significant.

Indeed, finally some clarification. However, Immortal is still Immortal. Mab couldn't be killed with explosions. She would just come back. Even cold iron. Apart from Conjunctions, intense magical power can do it. Ethniu and perhaps her Eye. Mab resisted one strike but I doubt she would have resisted two.
Just to be clear though, it was Lea in Book 4 that compared Mab to the Archangels. No matter, Jim's done a soft retcon. Sort of established well before this but clearer than ever to see.
Also, Ethniu seemed to know the Angel she was talking to. Personally. Called him traitor and coward. Seems like they both were once on the same team, and his siding with TWG and humanity seems an act of treachery.
Greywolf:
Unanswered question: was there an offscreen reason why Molly and Lara are so mad at each other that I missed? Is it just that Molly is jealous of Harry and Lara’s relationship, like heard the rumours from the Peace Talks or something? Or are we meant not to know?
