Cowl on the council, the senior council even? I almost wanna say it's the Merlin, but that strikes me as too obvious.
I think he has to be senior council... For a while I was really worried the traitor might be Ramirez, because we were obviously supposed to like him, but after all that poor boy has suffered... I doubt it. Of course, it wouldn't keep it from being something horribly evil, like mind control or blackmail or - something. Because he's been very lucky, and bad guys have been showing up right where he is a lot. But I don't want it to be him!
I think the Merlin is too obvious. I don't think it's Ebenezer. I'm wondering if it might be one of the magicians we're more sympathetic towards, like - Indjun Joe? Maybe? Or just that German guy I can't remember the name of right now... But, yeah, it wouldn't surprise me if it was someone Harry actually trusted. (Well, as far as Harry trusts anyone, these days!)
Also, the stuff with Mab, is she truly loopy, or being played…or playing everyone. I mean, she is the faiery queen, anything's possible.
I think the knife Bianca gave Lea was really bad mojo, and it might have screwed up Mab... But even if it did, I doubt she wouldn't find some way to turn it to her advantage. Because, like you said - hello, faery queen!
And is Lash fully gone, or do remnants of her still remain to help Harry along? Will be curious to see.
I think... I don't know. I do know that John and Harry could sit down for a long talk about how it feels to have an enemy living in your head! XD That amused me. A lot. But, no, I think she's mostly gone - the Lasciel construct is gone - but have left some surprises for Harry. She liked him, she might have tried to ensure he would survive the stupid things he's bound to do...
And what IS up with Harry's mommy. Wonder when will get the answer on that one.
Possibly at the end of the series. Jim Butcher said he's writing about twenty of these books, and then ending with something he calls the "Apocalypse Trilogy". Sounds like we might find out a LOT more about what Harry's big part to play (the one prophecised by that girl with Cassandra's Tear) is. But I bet it has to do with his mom... Something about her possibly being allied with really, really dark forces - Outsider dark - before giving it up. And possibly about having agreed to birth something really bad... I don't know, but she's got an interesting reputation...
Also! The Black Council - even before Harry was considering the existance of something like them, he was sure the events happening weren't random. He was saying someone stirred them up - and an awful lot of them seem very personally directed at him. Now, I wouldn't be surprised if dear old Justin DuMorne wasn't quite as dead as everyone expects him to be...
