Such a freaking genius. And with style.

Even with her hands tied, she pulls a major play from thin air. The Calvin and Hobbes book is a roundabout way of warning Harry that Maeve is sending hobs. I wonder if Maeve was hiding somewhere nearby and decided to scrap the kidnapping instead of going against everyone at once. She had to know that the hobs were at best a distraction for Ivy.
*Joins Mab's Fan Club ;D

So incredible. She was so weak, and then she just WINS with some bluff and her brains.
/reminds myself never to play poker against Mab...

Titania
Titania was just an idiot. She send (WOJ) her minions to counter Mab's minions, and kill the winter emissary, without looking at the greater picture.

Not so much idiocy, but dysfunction. That comment in Cold Days about Titania and Mab not talking since before Hastings comes into play. They don't communicate AT ALL. And, I get the impression that Mab has finally realized the weakness and vulnerablity this creates and seeks to remedy it. Getting rid of Maeve because of her infection is one thing, but replacing her with a bundle of emotional nerves (Sarissa) seems to be an olive branch to Titania, or an invitation to open a dialogue. Instead, Sarissa ends up in Summer, and Molly is in the role. And, it's just as well due to her own emotional nature. Summer is all about emotion. Winter...pragmatism.
Silkki:
Do we know that Ivy was not infected? I mean she did hint to Harry right way in Changes, breaking neutrality just a bit. Slowly being corrupted and granting Ivy ability to take active role in matters of great importance. (Going against her nature of staying neutral)

That seemed more like Ivy rebelling against the Archive.
