Mab said Maeve got infected via Lea. But Molly said there’s a hundred or so year backlog on the Winter Lady’s duties. Am I missing something? How was Maeve able to deny her purpose and Mab for a hundred plus years if she was only recently infected? If she was only recently infected, what exactly did Maeve and Mab mean on the island when Maeve said she wouldn’t lift a finger in the battle to come and Mab said co-opting the a Winter Lady was one of the adversary’s more effective ploys?

We know at least one, if not the major duty of the Winter Lady and why she is so close to the mortal world- she conscripts Winter's children to keep Winter able to man the Gates. That’s what I assume Maeve was shirking. How did she do that for a century or more and not lead to a severe troop depletion?

Is the reference to the Winter Lady’s strength also referring to her pure magical horsepower? Lily on Demonreach and Molly in Alaska proved they have serious magical might. But it doesn’t seem direct battle is the purpose of the queens. Like most powerful beings, the battle is probably going to the dog house if they have to throw down- the point is to win before blood is ever shed.

With Cait Sith- he’s incredibly strong. We know he was infected. Harry must have told someone. What happened? Is he just lurking out there?
