Yeah ... that's on my list to try if there's another AMA for the release of Peace Talks though. Probably second only to "Would Mouse recognize the people who dognapped his litter by scent if he met them undisguised?" because I want to see if his reaction to Elaine implicates or rules her out as Kumori.

Hmm regarding Ace: I like the idea, but it just seems a little strange that he only attacks Harry in that way when the latter is on fae business - given the depth of Ace’s hatred (like we see in CD), it seems odd that Ace would attack & not complete the job 2x in the 10 years since SK.

@morriswalters

I wouldn’t be surprised if the end goal of the Artis Tor attack was to capture Mab & take her to the Stone Table. Or just imprison her, forcing the Winter Court to operate without her or the Winter Knight & a Nfected Maeve in charge

Those are the only two conjunctions we know of, but are not necessarily the only two that exist.  And in fact, probably aren't.  There may have been some other options available, that for obvious reasons, those in the know keep private.

In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if Arctis Tor was one of those places where immortals can die. As the stronghold of one immortal, it would presumably normally protect Mab sufficiently that she's in little danger, while any immortals visiting and being a bad guest would be at risk.

Of course the downside is that the Arctis Tor attack apparently got through just fine so it'd be a crappy deal for Mab, but maybe the seat of power of an immortal simply accrues such force that it's alwas a sufficient conjunction (and the reason Mab/Titania brought the Stone Table into play in SK anyway was because no normal Winter-Summer conflict ever extends to the seats of power).

Given JB's fetish for keeping Harry poor and resource starved, it isn't a stretch to say that it took Ace ten years to get to that point where he had the allies to make a successful attack.  And it isn't odd that he is only in the Fae story line is it?  JB never has all his antagonists in each novel.

And there may be more conjunctions but I'm trying to keep my WAG's somewhere in the neighborhood of revealed lore.  Mab could be captured by some greater circle and held, but at Arctis Tor, in the heart of Winter?  With every one and their sister coming to rain pain on your ass. I see the event as a feint.  Forcing Mab to react in a way favorable to the Adversary.  In and out.  Confuse the issue enough that Mab can't be certain of the movers behind the attack. YMMV
