A crescendo of deliberate continuity errors
Snark Knight:
--- Quote from: Dina on January 23, 2025, 11:20:11 PM ---To be honest, Mab was quite hard in her first appearances. I mean, we have no reason to believe she is evil per se but she is not only ruthless but apparently a sadist. Later, that was not so much the case. So, even when I agree with you Mira that Harry was quite biased in his storytelling, there are some facts that justified his perception.

In the bigger sense, did Mab change? Or did she have a calculated reason to think that fronting as extra sadistic in her first meeting with Harry was a strategic route to getting something she wanted?

I think she knows who and what Harry is, but he doesn't know who he is, so she is establishing who is boss.

The "Queen" outranks the "Knight," and dominance-games seem endemic to Winter.
I don't think Mab can help herself.
OTOH, I think Mab has largely lost touch with her humanity. Harry keeps surprising her, and she regularly underestimates (is surprised by) those who still have theirs, such as Lady Winter Molly.

Yes, as Queen, Mab does outrank her Knight, Harry, but when has a little thing like that stopped Harry? No, she was giving him a firm lesson on who is the boss.

My point, though, is that I don't think the Winterqueen mantle permits Mab to allow the bearer of the Winterknight mantle to perform certain kinds of defiance; at least, not without rebuking him.
She actually likes his defiance... "finally," she says, "a knight who's worth the effort."
