Mab thought she was doing the right thing
groinkick:
Well wasn't Maeve already infected when Leah was at Arctis Tor?
--- Quote from: forumghost on July 21, 2018, 12:17:46 AM ---Or maybe Mab has simple overestimated herself, or underestimated Nemesis, and Lea isn't as 'cured' as she seems, and Nemesis still has a sleeper agent just waiting for the right moment...

Didn't Leah tell Harry that it could still reach her so she had to fight it or words to that effect?

It's not a brand new quote. He's said it a few times but I just thought about it and started the topic. I think they were generic questions about what happened at Arctis Tor and Jim said that. In each case he answered "Mab thought she was doing the right thing"... To me the emphasis was on "thought".

It was the only place where she could cure Lea.. It was the right thing to do..

The right thing to do may have been to destroy Leah..... There may not be an actual cure, only a way to slow it down, or stop it for a little while.

There was the attack, could more damage have been done than originally shown? Is that damage still relevant? If she did error it means it will come back in future books. How do you think it will come crashing down?

Arctis Tor is Mab's seat of power, it may be the only place where Lea could have been safely restrained. The raid itself may have been an effort to free Lea. Certainly Lea felt that Dresden could free her, once he got to where she was constrained, even though it seems she couldn't free herself. Maybe Mab didn't expect to be attacked at her seat of power. Since it pinned her at the borders of Winter.
Maybe one day JB will actually tell us. If he does will somebody hire an ectomancer to let me know, since I'm old and decrepit and am not counting on seeing the end game? ;)

Mab speaks through Cat Sith in Small Favor because she is angry that the Winter Lady was infected. As of Changes she uses Lea to speak, so she is still angry . The Winter Lady may well have been infected at the time of Summer Knight, but certainly by Proven Guilty, I think I can cite that timeline if someone believes it wrong.

I mean in SK Maeve kinda pulls Harry's butt out of the fire and allows him to foil Aurora, so presumably she wasn't taken then.

True, or that was part of the plan all along.

Nemesis: "mwahaha, excllent! Now the one person that can potentially prevent me from checkmating this game and conquering reality is free to do so! Good job my agents!"
Like, that only works if you assume either A) Nemesis is thicker then reinforced concrete or B) Actively trying to fail at it's job.
