[PT Spoilers] Why Wait?

She's a multi-thousand-year-old immortal -- what's the rush?

Indeed, plus getting other groups to soften things up just made her job easier.. One gets smart after a couple of thousand years.. ::)
Grifter:
She thinks she waited for everyone to be weakened and softened up for her attack. Meanwhile, the Outsiders are using her to weaken and soften up everyone for their attack.
It's a vicious cycle.
ClintACK:
And in Battle Ground, Ethniu will learn that she's been handily outmaneuvered.
Lots of wild speculation:
* Mab is at the Outer Gates. Lea is "standing in" for Mab at the Peace Talks, in disguise. (I didn't notice a single mention of Chicago having unseasonably cold weather -- which we've always gotten before, when Mab's in town.)
* Similarly, the Gatekeeper is at the Outer Gates, while someone pretends to be him at the White Council meeting that Harry is missing.
* Molly's brought a small army of Leshiye (shapeshifting wood fae) into Chicago disguised as mortals and using mortal transport, so as not to alert the fomor.
* Vadderung has a much larger force in reserve than he's letting on.
* The Svartalves brought in a bunch of reinforcement from other enclaves, in reaction to the assassination attempt.
* Lara's new magical security is hiding a much larger force than she's letting on -- both vampires and mercenaries (Monoc or mortal or both).
* The Archive is ready to give Harry Ethniu's true name, as a part of her Oblivion War Purpose.
* Harry's got access to Weapons that the fomor have no way of realizing he has, thanks to Mab's last big scheme.
Unfortunately, a bunch of heavyweights are going to come in on the other side, too -- Drakul, Mavra, Cowl, Evil Bob, the Genoskwa, Shagnasty...
And I've got no idea which side Titania and the Erlking will be on. If Titania is compromised or just still angry at Harry and Mab, who knows what she might do.
Conspiracy Theorist:
You missed Harry is going to sneeze out a T-Rex (that will be a nice surprise for the Genowskwa). “The best defence is a T-Rex” Harry Dresden, Peace Talks. This version of Sue will be able to do the Dino Serenade though.
The Erlking is Wild Faye immensely dangerous and not an Accords Member, it would require a real idiot to summon the Erlk..... oh never mind. Harry is an accredited leader of the Wild Hunt since Cold Days, he could summon them and lead them into battle, especially riding Sue.
A goblin army would be nice, it would be good PR after the Lord of the Rings etc and Chicago FBI is a Never Never portal to Erl’s Hall, it one of the places Odin wouldn’t need to guard, indeed I would leave that as a breach in the defences for the Fomor to try to get through, the goblins would enjoy it, the Fomor, not so much.
The archive will only know Ethnui’s true name if it was written down with all the correct pronunciation points. It will be interesting to see how she interacts with the Placard though.
The Swartalves are providing weapons, not manpower, so I wouldn’t rely on them unless they give Hendricks Mjolnir and it turns out he is Thor, amnesiac from playing far too much college football (he has the Beard now). He will never finish his thesis now if that is the case.
Harry will create a rapprochement between Titania and Mab, by making them so angry at him they agree for the first time since 1066
Titania is not at the Peace Talks which also bodes that it is Lea posing as Mab
ClintACK:
I definitely expect to see Sue, but I doubt even Mab will have planned for that. :)
I'd love to see what happens if Harry uses soulfire to stabilize Sue -- I'm thinking he might get a permanent T-rex mount. I'm suddenly wondering how deep Lake Michigan gets between Chicago and Demonreach...
