I disagree, morris, with the blank slate assessment.

It is possible that Harry is a fine thrall laid over a weapon- or that the weapon is a fine thrall slumbering inside of Harry. It would use the Chekov's gun on fine thralls.

But I rather lean towards the whole choice side of the series being that Justin may have intended to forge a weapon, but Harry's nature was resistant- so what resulted is someone with high endurance for slugfests, high pain tolerance, and an absolute knowledge/lack of hesitation to "go for the throat" if needed- but not a berserker.

Harry does have pretty classic PTSD after Susan/what the Red Court did to him.

I think it's either a rhetorical device- see how far he's been pushed!?- for tension, or an excuse for the whole Darth Harry/Mirror Mirror universe. It also maybe will come up as why he has Soulfire/is employed/an agent of an archangel- even if that archangel is the archangel of vengeance. He keeps making the same choice to not become warped.

That's what I'm thinking.
BR when Inari was injured. I read that as Lord Raith didn't value mortals much at all beyond food. Lara did. I think this is born out in WN when Harry shows up to Raith Manor and somebody has been listening to mortal advice. The somebody is pretty obviously Lara.
I kind of do think she's a lot more "good" or "human" than Lord Raith or maybe even the typical White Court vampire, but still much less so than Thomas was before Shagnasty got a hold of him. But I didn't get that from that scene.

I'd guess that it's the wedding ring that gave her a scar, too. Truly loved her husband. And that's why Thomas trusts her.

Maybe. It's one of them, but Marcone's a vanilla mortal, not a practitioner, and therefore not a serious threat to rob.

I think Nemesis needs to be able to offer something- to alter your nature outside of what reality allows.

It can't or won't possess people who fundamentally accept who/what they are.

Be an interesting twist re: Thomas. It would mean as much as he hates his Hunger...deep down he feels he wouldn't be Thomas without it. Or he loves being super-hot.

I personally lean towards Vadderung being Balor originally; hence Ethniu's solicitation

Battle Ground started with There are 9 occurences of the word Apocalypse in that book. One of them seems to be an emphasisand another explains the nature of it

Sounds for me, or the readers, the right interpretation would be

Apocalypse is a frame of mind while witnessing multiple apocalyptic events starting from Ethniu until the culminating Big A events & the end of the series.

So, if
 
a freaking Titan started the Apocalypse by destroying a city so she gets to rule the entire world is the start of little apocalypses,

what else would count as little (as I think most of us agree BAT would consists of attempts on cosmic annihilation which means they're Big)?

Harry was staggered because Nicodemus said the same thing to him. Either Nemesis knows too much, or he's worked that closely with it.

Actually you can get mass from the nevernever as explained in skingame. You can temporarily store it there as well if I remember wok correctly.

Yes, but that mass should be created with potential, not kinetic, energy.

From a physics standpoint, the sparrow would slow down as its momentum and kinetic energy is shared with the new mass, which would then begin falling itself.

Of course, if LTW is smooth, he could time the change so that the elephant is nearly still from the extra mass, but so close that its new acceleration from gravity is still a considerable hit.

Or use extra magic to add matching velocity to the new mass as its added, that would also work.

I thought it was heavily implied that Lord Raith used an entropy curse just like he did in blood rites.

On Margaret. We know nothing of Malcolm, aside from at the moment of his death someone was ready to disappear Harry so thoroughly that the best of the Warden field agents- Morgan- couldn't find him 12 hours later.

I lean toward the Leanansidhe, myself, but the Merlin is possible, in an attempt to create a WC controlled starborn weapon- or, in other words, Harry wasn't being groomed as DuMorne's personal enforcer, but as a wizard-warrior against threats like Drakul, possibly because such preparation would fly in the face of the Laws and the volatile Blackstaff.
