It's worth noting, however: while we know the Nevernever side of any given place has some sorts of similarities to the mundane side (and therefore will be (at minimum) an ominous and dangerous place ...
Recall the source of that info: Nicodemus & Anduriel. They won't lie when lying can weaken their position (i.e. the lie is likely to be discovered, and thus discredit them); but if they see more advantage than disadvantage, deception is the lingua franca of Hell.

Mab is something horrible, at that point in the narrative she is Harry’s worst nightmare, she wants to take away his self control to become winter Knight. Nick on the other hand knows she is the Defender of the Outer Gates, and horrible to him. Nick was telling the truth from both parties point of view but not objectively.
Why tell a lie when the partial truth is perfectly acceptable.

Mab is only Harry's worst nightmare because of his fear of her, he should be afraid, but not all of his fear is rational. Nic is playing off that fear. Nor logically does Mab want to take away Harry's self control so he'd become Winter Knight, basically that was her problem with Slate, no self control. She is patient, she knows that eventually something will come up and Harry will run out of options, which it eventually did in Changes. Oh and for my money, a lie is a lie and sometimes a so called "half-truth" is the worst lie of all.

That may have been Ascher's ID; or it may have been what Lasciel wanted her so say to Harry.

It's all speculative until Butcher gets to the point. It could be read as each person seeing what they expect to see. I have no idea.
