Can you tell me where you learned this?
I was thinking, since the queens ARE the courts they balance each other pretty well(SK when Harry actually sight gazes the queens)
And I can't remember the precise reply but there should be a woj on this in existence asking if EG is Lea's opposite and Jim saying something to the effect that it's not a role for role balance inside the courts but more of a... something? Cumulative effect?

Mother Summer more or less outright states it in Cold Days. Mab can beat Summer any day she likes, provided she's willing to forfeit reality and see herself dragged down by Titania.

No, the Queens are the Queens and they do balance one another out. But the courts are another matter.
As to where we learned about the imbalance ... at the outer gates.
kazimmoinuddin:
The mothers seat of power, their cottage, they both live there in unity. The other queens each have their own locations. So it is possible this would be a good location for inter court co operation and sharing of power and responsibility.

The outer gates down count toward the balance(iirc correctly, there were summer troops up there too, as medics)When the queens summon the full extent of their power it calls out to all the fae even those unaligned directly. I calls to them as part of their power.
--- Quote --- and end the end, the board will be equally divided.

It's also directly states in SK that summer has had the edge recently, which isn't possible including the OG's forces. An another proof they aren't part of it, in PG Harry releasing Summer Fire into winter's wellspring would have emptied the wall of defenders, that we know of it did not. or else they coulda rushed the wall then and there.

Doesn't say anything about the courts it says

So they are hers but that doesn't actually make them part of the court.[/b] Like the Marines and Navy seals are both American forces, but not of the same division. The Royal troops aren't part of the galaxy defense forces.
