Battle Ground foreshadowing
Conspiracy Theorist:
Oh yes Uriel believes in free will.
So does Mab.
How did that work out for Harry?

Mab believes in purpose, finding your purpose.
vincentric:
Mab is the ultimate pragmatist.
Aside from her vengeances, she is focused on one goal, defending reality from the Outsiders.
If you don't have that context, then she comes across as evil but even her cruelest acts are in pursuit of a greater good.
Harry is just starting to see the whole picture and no longer sees her as evil. But he's rightfully frightened by what she's capable of because she makes her decisions without any consideration for kindness and compassion.

I agree. I've never seen Mab as evil, she is a force of nature, neither good nor evil. As we know nature can be cruel as well as kind, in that context she guards the Gates.
Conspiracy Theorist:
Yes she was originally described as the evil faerie queen, but that was because most saw only the outcomes of the hard (but correct) choices she made without compromise.
