The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Could Dresden have been wrong about Thorned?

--- Quote from: WOJ ---Also, it has probably occurred to more than one of you that if Mab was /really/ in trouble, she could have had the entire military might of Faerie back at the fortress in moments–exactly the way they *did* come back when Harry smacked the Winter Well with the fires of Summer.
(Which goes to show that while Mab may be canny to an inhuman degree, she isn’t infallible. Just way closer to infallible than us.)

Which of course means if the way had been cleared Mab cleared it.
--- Quote from: Proven Guilty ---Four attackers, this time. Four of them at least.
--- End quote ---
So four came and were detected by the web.
--- Quote from: Proven Guilty ---And they grabbed her. The Reaper and the Scarecrow. And they carried her out the door. She was screaming…” He bit his lip. “I tried to stop them, but Hammerhand chased me.

Just to make the record clear this all occurs before the event's of the Fool Moon Garage which means the Scarecrow was already here.

The Scarecrow was at the Fool Moon garage roughly the same time that Molly was being abducted. Harry's web spell detected the fetches, Harry sends them to the fear beacon Molly, and Harry gets abducted by Madrigal Raith after polishing off a stray fetch at the convention. Madrigal takes Harry to the garage where the Scarecrow attacks while the other fetches abduct Molly from the Carpenter home.
Mab definitely allowed Harry and company access to Arctis Tor, but that didn't require her to sacrifice her elite troll guards. I don't think you're saying this, but the Arctis Tor attack doesn't seem to be Mab's idea. More like something where she outmaneuvered someone else.

What the text said is sufficient to me. Thorned Namshiel did the deed. There is a backstory involving the Circle or whoever. But one of the primary mysteries is why didn't Mab retaliate? That attack is why. Jim obscures the timing of the attack but it can't be earlier then mid Dead Beat and it happened before Harry got there in PG. It's notable that Summer didn't appear to know about the attack or the fact that Lea was on ice. You might think that Mab was keeping it secret out of concern for what Summer might do.

Revenge is a dish best served cold, when you are immortal you can afford to take your time.. Mab will wait until the time is right. Look how long it took her to get back at Nic, also it may not only have been for Marcone that she did it.
The_Sibelis:
Again, and I don't know how clearer to pronounce this, the attack doesn't explain why mab doesn't later retaliate, which is the key question levied by everyone about the situation. This is why the whamps are capturing little folk in WK, to measure there response. Because someone did something they well know should have gotten an eventual response, but it never did.
