I don't think so, but I hope he is for you - you've been waiting for years for him to show himself.




I agree with you there. I've waited VERY long.

Anyway, I found your responses to my points to be well argued, of course.

Despite my views on the male vs female Forsaken, I HAD begun to view Graendal as one of the more dangerous Forsaken over the course of the last few books.

This latest glimpse into her POV, however, has left me confused and in a position where I have to reconsider my high estimate of her ability.

Maybe it IS just Sanderson who is struggling to get the nuances of the Forsaken personalities right. Or maybe he is signaling the way forward in a less than Jordanesquely subtle way.

To me, the Graendal in this chapter appeared blinder and her thinking less complex, than the Graendals we saw in previous books.

Her comment about the "secret alliance", her surprise at Demandred's cold, calculated responses to Moridin's statements, and her self absorbed thoughts about the Nae'bliss seemed out of place to me.

The latest Forsaken Chapter certainly did not raise her esteem in my eyes. In fact, it damaged it.

But let's see what happens in the rest of the book. It's going to be interesting.
