Murphy (BG spoilers) (also some thoughts on the book overall)

And keep her out of the books for now. Harry needs to learn to think and work without her. He's almost always had her as an adviser.

Thank you, yes, and what is more so many that are now arguing for he to be a Valkyrie, used to sing the praises of Murphy for being a vanilla human sounding board for Harry.

No power ups for Murphy does not mean no power ups offered, it only means no power ups accepted. It was not in character for Murphy to accept Gard’s offer in Aftermath.

Right, but what she said and what I've been reading, some of the people that wanted her to stay the non-superpower assisted person now want her, now that she's dead, to come back as a powered up Valkyrie. Can't have it both ways. Leave her be for now and have her come back at the end all healed up and ready for a fight.
Oh, and to push some buttons in a laugh, she comes back having started a physical relationship with Hendricks.

A couple of people are saying, in this thread, she could still eventually promote to Valkyrie.
Most of the argument is about Gard's previous offer of becoming a security consultant, and whether that was code for assuming a Valkyrie mantle.
Murphy refused Gard's offer, but when she died it was prime Einherjar material.
So, Gard offered to let her go to Officer Training School, Murphy refused, but she got drafted as a grunt. The implication is that mortals ascebd to become Valkyries, but only the dead can become Einherjar.

She's an Einherjar right now already, so that "rule" of "no power ups" is, obviously, kaputt. As for the latter, I disagree. Having support by this friends is what makes Harry strong, especially if they are well capable of calling him out on his tendency to beat himself up emotionally and for his occasional arrogance.
