Thanks I missed that. I just knew Atlantis had to rear its ugly head.
And Harry has a new talking head for research. Named Bonea. Chock full of Fallen Angel knowledge.
Another mystery, in Cold Days Maeve says that Mab is mad and and intends to unleash chaos and destruction not seen since the fall of Atlantis. Like I know the guy is busy, but wouldn't you go "hey, might be time to ask what happened to Atlantis" to someone who would have the true story.
Just rereading Proven Guilty I had a crazy thought. What if Winter Lady Molly was/is the one that sent the fetches?
It's generally agreed that some time travel stuff is affected in Proven Guilty, so what if she's the one that sends fetches after her previous self.
Just a thought I thought worth sharing.
What I think it comes down to is that some monsters are more human than others, and some humans are more monstrous than others.
More importantly, he had the option of moving there indefinitely (Uriel's Job offer). If you're dead enough to have an option of permanent residency in a Literal Ghost Town, you're dead enough to be labelled as "Dead" IMHO.
She has most of her humanity left. She's nothing like Mab, or Maeve at this point. Remember what Harry was told be Uriel. He still has a Choice. So does Molly. If she chooses to hold on to her humanity she will be ok. At least in theory. That being said, time is not on her side. Time will pass, her loved ones will grow old and leave her one by one... If and when she becomes isolated she will more than likely slip into the Winter Lady mantle entirely.
Jim said Mab may still have some soul left (not a direct answer but left open to the possibility), and her humanity seems all but gone. She embraces being Mab, and has so for a long time. So if she can still have some left I think Molly still has most of hers since she still has a lot of ties to her humanity, doesn't really want to be Winter Lady, and has been a Lady for a short period of time.
I mean Corpsetaker though. She was all dead (bullet to the back of the Skull) but she wasn't dead enough that she couldn't come back from it.
Death is really fuzzy in the Dresdenverse. The way I see it, Harry was dead alright... but as Bob put it, Dead=/=Gone.
Basically, Miracle Max has it wrong here. Mostly Dead? Easy Fix. All dead? Harder, but still doable. Very dead? Getting tricky but sure. Super Dead? Kiiiinnda pushing the boundary here. DED Dead? Okay yeah, now there's nothing left to do but go through their pockets for change.
I think Harry has instilled enough of himself in her to resist being full blown Sidhe... To be a full blown Sidhe you need to fully embrace it... She has in some ways but in others she seems resistant.
Everyone else that's quoted this line here seems to have missed the most relevant half of it. People are too determined that "He came back, so he wasn't really dead". They're doing exactly what Mab says here- trying to turn Death into a yes/no question rather then a gradient.
I got the impression he was in a coma, but so deep in a coma it was almost death. I mean in real life people "die", and are brought back. Sometimes for extended periods of time. What Mab and the others did was the same as what humans do, albeit at a more advanced level. Didn't Mab say if he'd gone completely even she couldn't have gotten him back? He might have died shortly, but I think that for the 6 months he was comatose. They kept him alive enough for his wizard healing to take over. There is also the Uriel thing going on. We saw what Harry did directly, but there may have been more subtle things going on that we won't realize until future books.

And Mab again in Ghost Story
"Death is a spectrum, not a line. And you my knight, had not yet vanished into the utter darkness."
Neither does that mean he did. JB has played with the idea about the fluidity of the line between death and life throughout the series. Even Harry isn't sure. And I'm swiftly moving to the position of everyone in the book being an unreliable narrator.
A head shot would have removed all doubt. Picture Harry, as Scare Crow singing, "If I only had a Brain".
The Fomor betray everyone and try to kill everyone. It is a given. It is in their nature. They can not resist the urge and Mab and Lea know it will happen because of that.
They will bring giants. I remember a woj about the einherjar who can not wait to fight them.
Finding the twist is more difficult because this is all very straight forward. Mab will bring the twist because she is prepared. But maybe not prepared enough and everything explodes in a massive brawl because Jim wants to show a real fight with supernaturals.
Something like that.
Nasty..
